A first name well known to fans of Formula 1 has reappeared on the grid this season. Three years after Kimi Räikkönen's retirement, another "Kimi" has arrived in the top flight, bringing with him an iconic surname. I met him when I was quite young. I understood why they called him the Iceman. (the iceman. Ed.), to be honest, because I remember going up to him super excited and he had absolutely no reaction " joked the younger Kimi at a press conference on the eve of the Bahrain Grand Prix. While he is much more expressive than his illustrious elder outside the cockpit, Andrea Kimi Antonelli shares with him an icy calm once the visor is on.

I don't know about the new Hamilton, but he's going to have a very good career given his talent at only 18 years old. He might end up competing with Georgie in the near future.
