The story between Kimi Raikkonen and his drinks system continues at the Turkish Grand Prix. On previous occasions, the Iceman didn’t have his system connected which in turn made him complain about it on the team radio.
However, this time it was a different story. As the Alfa Romeo driver was zipping around the Istanbul Park, the drinks system had leaked in the car, which caused problems for the Finn, and made him rage on the team radio.

While zipping around the track at break-neck speeds for hours, drivers need to hydrate themselves. However, for Kimi, one of the major obstacles during a Grand Prix weekend is not having his drinks system connected. But this time as he zipped around the Turkish track, his drinks system had a massive leakage which infuriated the Finnish driver.
Kimi said on the team radio, “How’s it so f***ing difficult to do simple things correctly?! Yeah because I disconnected it came leaking in my f***king helmet, so I disconnected. The most simple part in the whole car and we can’t f***ing fix it.”
