The story between Kimi Raikkonen and his drinks system continues at the Turkish Grand Prix. On previous occasions, the Iceman didn’t have his system connected which in turn made him complain about it on the team radio.

However, this time it was a different story. As the Alfa Romeo driver was zipping around the Istanbul Park, the drinks system had leaked in the car, which caused problems for the Finn, and made him rage on the team radio.
