First there was the incident at last year’s Hungarian Grand Prix, when then Ferrari driver Kimi Raikkonen’s drink bottle leaked.
“Kimi, you will not have the drink” his engineer repeated over and over and over and over.
A few months later and Raikkonen faces deja-vu – this time his whole car has leaked, with images of Alfa Romeo’s brand new 2019 challenger surfacing online.
“Kimi, you will see the car on Insta” his new engineer repeated over and over and over
The car was spotted by a photographer doing laps of the Ferrari Fiorano Test Track, with images appearing on Instagram.
Media present at the track were also able to intercept team radio messages between Raikkonen and the garage discussing the photographer.
“You forgot to ban the photographers” Kimi yelled over team radio
“Yes, confirmed” his engineer replied.
“The camera, is it on now?” Kimi asked.
“You will see the car on Insta Kimi, sorry” the engineer said.
“Is it on or not? The camera?” Kimi replied.
“No Kimi, You will see the car on Insta Kimi, sorry” the engineer said.
“No no!” Kimi interjected, “Is the camera on or not???”
“No Kimi, You will see the car on Insta Kimi, sorry” the engineer said.
“For f**k’s sake!!” The Finn cried out, “I need a drink!!”
“No no, Kimi, you will not have the drink” his engineer replied.
