So, it is really important that a driver’s drink pipe is properly connected during races. Unfortunately, Kimi Raikkonen has faced some troubles in that regard in the past, and this presented itself as a problem for the Finn yet again in Monaco.

Racing for Ferrari at the time, Raikkonen was unable to utilize his drink pipe at the Hungarian Grand Prix. Thus, Kimi went back and forth on the team radio about the pipe coming loose during the race.
