Well, he claims it happened.

Raikkonen has opened uꦦp on secretly competing in motocross events during 🅘his F1 career without telling his bosses.

“I don’t know what any of 🍰my teams thought about it as I never mentioned it to them,” he said.

“Sometimes I went riding in small club races but it was just for fun and I have a small track a♉t home here with the kids. 

“I did not race at a high level 😼and I felt it was pa🅠rt of my fitness programme.”

Whether any of his former bosses at Sauber, McLaren, Ferrari, Lotus or Alfa𒁏 Romeo would agree? We’ll never know.

The Ice💖man, who is still the most recent Ferrari driver to win the world championship after his 2007 triumph, has a passion for two wheels.

He is today the team principal of Kawasaki Racing𝓡 Team in the FIM Motocross World Championsꦯhip.

“The direction is very🥀 good. We always wanted to come back to Kawasaki; now is the second year together and we have a great relationship with the Japanese people and the whole Kawasaki group. Kawasaki is pushing a lot and it's great to be part of the team and the group, helping them to develop the bike."
