Kimi Raikkonen suffers teasing from son and team after collision
Kimi Raikkonen suffered teasing from his six-year-old son as well as Formula One colleagues after colliding with Alfa Romeo team mate Antonio Giovinazzi at last weekend's Portuguese Grand Prix.
The 2007 world champion said after the race that he was distracted trying to change a switch on the steering wheel, a confession that got him into trouble at home.
"I think the worst thing was my son was telling me, 'You always tell me to look forwards' when he's driving a go-kart," the 41-year-old Finn told reporters ahead of Sunday's Spanish Grand Prix. "He gave me a bit of that."
Team boss Frederic Vasseur joined in with the jibes at the Circuit de Catalunya.
