Minttu’s accusations
There is no precise news on what happened, but Minttu Virtanen, wife of Kimi and mother of Robin, made a clear statement: “This is the result of racing in WSK. No rules, no penalties, and a lot of dangerous things happen.”

Born in 2015, Robin won his first kart race in September 2022 and in 2024 won his first kart championship in the Micro Max category of RMC Switzerland. Young Raikkonen is currently racing in WSK, showing some talent that could give him a bright future in motorsport.

Robin Raikkonen has quickly made a name for himself in the karting world, claiming the Swiss Rotax Max Challenge title in the Micro Max category. In 2025, he is competing in the WSK Championship’s MINI U10 class, where he has already secured impressive results, including second and third place finishes at the Sarno circuit, as well as a fourth-place finish at the recent event in Franciacorta, Brescia.

It seems he has what it takes, as even the 2007 Formula One world champion remarked in an interview a few months ago. After trying out the simulator together, Kimi mentioned his son, saying, “For now, I’m still slightly faster, but that could change soon.” These words only raise expectations for young Robin, who at just nine years old has already celebrated his first title.

Nine Years Old but Already a Title Holder
Despite his young age, Robin Raikkonen has already secured his first trophy. The young prodigy triumphed in the Swiss RMC championship in the Micro Max category.

The victory was captured by his mother, Minttu, on social media with a video showing little Robin celebrating his hard-earned win.

These are the images shared on social media:

Robin will now continue his growth journey in karting as he awaits to see if he has the talent necessary to enter the world of single-seaters and try to replicate his father Kimi’s career.

Success in the rain

It was a day of celebration in the Raikkonen household. The entire family of the 2007 Ferrari world champion was at the Bahn Wohlen karting track for the finals of the Swiss RMC (Rotax Max Challenge) championship, in which their eldest son Robin Ace Matias competed in the Micro Max category (ages 7 to 10, with a cap on maximum power).

In the rain, Robin Raikkonen won the race and the championship, celebrating as is fitting at the end of a motorsport success.

Robin Räikkönen’s karting success mirrors the rewarding experience of finding a top-tier casino in Norway, where excellence is celebrated.

On her Instagram account, Minttu Raikkonen, as always, followed the triumphant day’s developments in her stories.

In addition to the ‘usual’ Gino Rosato, Robin’s godfather, Maurizio Arrivabene, the Italian manager who was Ferrari’s team principal from 2015 to 2018 when Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen were the drivers for the Scuderia, also dropped by to greet his former colleagues at Franciacorta.

Robin Raikkonen took two victories over the two race days, and on Instagram, Gino Rosato, as always, couldn’t contain his enthusiasm in his stories: “He raced in a league of his own, what a race,” said Gino Rosato, playing on Robin’s middle name ‘Ace’ by writing ‘What a R-Ace’.

Robin’s objective at SIM Maranello was clear: thoroughly test the capabilities of the 6DOF simulator. His immediate adaptation and enthusiasm were beyond mere comparison, truly embodying the essence of a racing prodigy. As soon as he was comfortably positioned, his expression gleamed with excitement and eagerness that is characteristic of a true racing aficionado. Unintimidated by the sophisticated 6DOF setup, he appeared bold and eager to conquer the virtual circuit.

The simulator’s unmatched realism instantly immersed him in the experience, prompting instinctive maneuvers as though he was navigating the high-speed twists and turns of a real race track.

Baby Raikkonen is already showing promise behind the wheel, and his proud father, Kimi, can attest to that. The duo spent a fantastic day together at the SIM center in Maranello, a company specializing in the creation and customization of driving simulators. Young Robin, who has already embarked on his karting career, enjoyed driving various virtual cars under the careful guidance of his ex-Ferrari driver father. Kimi shared the video of this experience on Instagram.

Last year, Kimi’s son took his first steps into the world of motorsport by joining the historic Italian team CRG Kart, which over the years has launched the karting careers of top names like Nico Rosberg, Lewis Hamilton, and Max Verstappen.

Robin quickly made his mark, securing a podium in the Rotax Micro category right away, competing against much older and more experienced drivers. He achieved his first victory last May. His accomplishments have been documented over the months on the Instagram profile “robincematias,” an account co-managed by Kimi and Minttu.

On the same page, a few hours ago, the former Ferrari world champion shared a video with the caption: “Great day with Robin at the SIM Maranello.”

“Robin really appreciated the sensation of real speed provided by the simulator, and it’s undoubtedly good training for the upcoming season. I also had the opportunity to try the simulator, and I was truly impressed by its precision and sensations.”

Finally, Kimi admitted to being impressed by his son’s speed despite his very young age: “I was still a bit faster than him, but not by much. The boy is quick.”
