The world of Formula One is in mourning, as Kimi Raikkonen has announced he will leave the sport at the end of the season. The Finn has given the sport countless memories, both on and off track. When asked to pick his highlight, he couldn’t choose one, but also stated he would never go back and change anything.

It is no doubt that the paddock will miss Raikkonen’s personality. His antics off & on track will be remembered forever, and if he was given the opportunity to start all over, the Iceman wouldn’t change a single thing.

When drivers are set to leave the grid, they look back at the best times they had in the sport. However, Kimi is different and doesn’t hold any time, in particular, that is special to him. Raikkonen stated he is happy with how things panned out, and he wouldn’t change a thing.

At the presser on Thursday for the Dutch GP, upon being asked by The Race about his greatest strength in F1, Kimi jokingly replied, “I don’t know if I have one.”

He stated that he had fun and “wouldn’t change a single thing even if I could.”
