Kimi Raikkonen says his son is already showing promise in karts

Kimi Raikkonen says his son, Robin, has already started outpacing him in go-karts after the pair took to the track during lockdown.

Formula One returns this weekend after a four-month break due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and drivers have been taking to the track in everything from go-karts to old F1 cars to prepare.

Raikkonen, who drives for the Alfa Romeo team and has not driven an F1 car since testing in February, combined his training with trips to the kart track with his five-year-old son.

With his son in his own kart and Raikkonen driving a rental, the 2007 world champion says he is already struggling to keep up with Robin.
