“F**ked Again” – Kimi Raikkonen Rages at Alfa Romeo F1 After Pit-Stop Blunder in Hungary

Kimi Raikkonen is known for his rage during a Grand Prix. Whether it be not getting his drink, or being awarded a time penalty. Hence, the Hungarian Grand Prix was no different, as his incident with Nikita Mazepin caused by an unsafe release gave the Finn a 10-second time penalty.

The Alfa Romeo driver was pleased about it, was furious with the team. He stated that every time they have a chance at scoring, they completely mess it up.

How did Kimi’s race pan out?

The Finnish driver had to start his Hungarian GP in thirteenth place. However, Raikkonen was still motivated in order to get a better result for the team that would see them gain some points in the championship.

Another obstacle that was thrown his way was the time penalty for the unsafe release in the garage. Understandably, the Iceman was furious but still kept pushing around the Hungaroring.

Raikkonen’s perseverance paid off as they were promoted to tenth place, which saw them pick up one point in Budapest. The Swiss-based team would have learned from this mistake and would be more careful when they ahead to off to Spa for the Belgium GP.

The Iceman is hoping to score points on merit rather than get promoted. He will be hoping for a better finish than Hungary and help his team seize some more points this season.
