Several F1 fans often consider Raikkonen to be one of the most unique personalities in the F1 paddock. Over the years, the Finn rarely showed emotion, be it in a press conference or his reactions after completing a successful race.
In fact, his minimal use of words makes him quite a funny person in interviews, which fans admit they would miss once he retires. While it’s rare to see Raikkonen smile, the same cannot be said when he spends time with his family.
