It looks like former world champion Kimi Raikkonen is not missing racing one bit. The former Ferrari driver retired from the sport at the end of the 2021 season after almost two decades in F1. Since hanging his boots in Abu Dhabi, the Finn has been vacationing and spending quality time with his family.

Recently, he met another Finnish motorsport icon. Kimi and the rest of his family visited Panoramabar, where he met one of the most successful WRC drivers of all time, Tommi Mäkinen.

There are so many things that are making no sense: Kimi Raikkonen

As reported by Autosport, Kimi mentioned that there are so many things in the sport right now that he does not understand. He pointed out that there is a lot going on in the sport that does not meet the eye or is spoken about.

“There are so many things that are making no sense, at least in my head, what happens here. All kinds of bullshit that goes around. We know it, but nobody says it. Things that I don’t think that even should be,” said Raikkonen.

“A lot of things are such fake things in here. It’s good to be out. Mentally, it’s very good to be out of all that bullshit for a while. I know what I’m looking forward to when I get out. There’s so much more [bullshit] than people see from the outside,” said Raikkonen.

It is indeed very concerning to hear the comments made by the former world champion. He further revealed the main reason for the disruption in this sport is more money.
