VIDEO: Raikkonen Suffers Drink Woes Again at Monaco GP

A Formula One race can be intense and can dehydrate a driver as they deal with intense force while driving around the circuit. So, it is really important that a driver’s drink pipe is properly connected during races. Unfortunately, Kimi Raikkonen has faced some troubles in that regard in the past, and this presented itself as a problem for the Finn yet again in Monaco.

Racing for Ferrari at the time, Raikkonen was unable to utilize his drink pipe at the Hungarian Grand Prix. Thus, Kimi went back and forth on the team radio about the pipe coming loose during the race.

The 41-year-old didn’t have the best of qualifying in Saturday’s session. Despite him making it into the second session, he only managed to put in the 14th fastest lap. Raikkonen was further disappointed as he finished in 11th place, only just missing out on getting his first points of the season.

In the post-race interview after the Monaco GP, upon being asked about how difficult it is to overtake, Raikkonen said, “Yeah it is always been. Obviously, the reason being with the wider cars, basically you can do what you want and go as low as you want and nobody will pass you.

“But that’s how Monaco is and not much really happened in my race,” he concluded.

The Alfa Romeo driver is yet to score his first points of the season. He hopes that the upcoming race at Baku will be his chance to make an impact in the driver’s standings.
