Despite joining social media, Raikkonen doesn’t post regularly on what he’s up to during the shutdown. He doesn’t post much but when he does, its quality content. However, he’s probably passing time as a family man. When he’s’ not giving his son – Robin dirt bike lessons, he’s probably teaching ballet to little Rianna.
