The F1 legend that got ‘told off’ over Top Gear appearance
During his appearance on Top Gear, F1 legend Kimi Raikkonen disappointed producers by initially underperforming in a wet lap with a time of 1:46.1 in the Suzuki Liana. The show’s ‘Star in a Reasonably Priced Car’ segment featured a mix of celebrities and F1 stars like Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel, and Michael Schumacher, each aiming for the best lap time. Raikkonen’s nonchalant attitude resulted in producer Andy Wilman having to confront him to encourage a better performance. Despite Raikkonen’s initial reluctance, he eventually conceded and completed a few more laps at a faster pace. The incident showcased Raikkonen’s iconic ‘Ice Man’ persona and provided a memorable moment for Top Gear fans.
