Kimi Raikkonen has finally called time on his Formula One career after almost two decades in motorsports. Raikkonen was one of the most unique drivers in Formula One history; be it his on-track racing methods or off-track persona.

He was straightforward, relaxed, and did not really care about the opinions of others. He was a pure racer at heart and went up against some of the best drivers in F1 history. Kimi never really cared about anything other than just racing; he was never a fan of media questions and fan interactions. But in a recent interview, the Iceman disclosed some personal details about his life.

I do not have a problem with it: Kimi Raikkonen

As reported by SportsBild, in his biography, Raikkonen mentioned he used to pee in his garden when he was young. When asked if he continues to pee in his garden today, the former Ferrari driver replied in the affirmative.

“Sure, that’s normal for me. When I was a kid, we didn’t have a toilet in my parents’ house. Where else should you pee? Of course, I keep doing that. I do not have a problem with it. If I have to, then I have to.” said Kimi.

“No, and I don’t want to forge any either. My kids want a dog, but we haven’t decided yet. Maybe it’s enough for them that I will now spend more time at home again.

That vacation is vacation again. Otherwise, we only had the summer break. That was two and a half weeks in which you had to continue training and always had in the back of your mind that afterward, the normal madness would be back.” said Kimi.
