Kimi Raikkonen will forever be remembered for his car-to-pitwall conversations – to put it politely – during the European Grand Prix at Baku City Circuit the taciturn Finn was at his best during a frustrating race, the Ferrari driver adding to his repertoire of radio rants.
The veteran complains about wayward plastic bags floating on the main straight….
Raikkonen: “There was some f*cking plastic flying around and I had to avoid it!”
Then has a go at the marshals for not showing blue flags to backmarkers…
Raikkonen: “Hey where the f*cking are the blue flags! I’ve been following him the whole f*cking lap now!”
Ferrari ask the Finn to allow Sebastian Vettel pass as their two drivers were on different strategies at that point…
Engineer: “Thank-you Kimi, thank-you…”
Raikkonen: “Well now you tell him to push, because I don’t want that he’s in front of me… I mean [censored by FOM]”
Technical issues afflict the Ferrari driver late in the race….
Raikkonen: “Is it the same as last race, let’s say?”
Engineer: “I can’t answer Kimi, I can’t answer I’m sorry.”
Raikkonen: “Surely you can say yes or no!?”
Engineer: “I can’t Kimi, I can’t.”
After the race Raikkonen added: “You would think they are allowed to say ‘yes’ or ‘no’ but that’s not the way it was.”
