Final chapter for the 2021 World Cup and also for Kimi Raikkonen, who will say goodbye to Formula 1 after the Abu Dhabi race. The Alfa Romeo driver will stop with a round figure: 350 Grands Prix (absolute record). 16 more than Fernando Alonso, who, however, will be able to surpass him in 2022. Emotions? Not at all. For the Finn, Abu Dhabi is an almost normal appointment. And, in full style Iceman, thus framed the weekend of Yas Marina.
“It is the last race of the season and, this time, also the last of my career, but I don’t think about it too much. Of course, I know it will be different once I cross the line and I am aware that this chapter of my life is closed. But once I’m in the cockpit, it will be a race like any other. I want to end my career with a good result, for me and for the team, and I also want to enjoy this weekend with my family and friends, who will be with me to say goodbye to Formula 1“, These are the words of the 2007 world champion to the Alfa Romeo channels.
Antonio Giovinazzi, instead, he hopes that his is a goodbye and that Formula E is just an annual parenthesis: “I am approaching Abu Dhabi full of confidence after such a beautiful race in Jeddah. I wanted a result like that before the end of the season to show what he can do in Formula 1, to prove that I haven’t given up at all and that I will continue to fight until the checkered flag of the last race; now I want another good Grand Prix to finish my three years with Alfa Romeo well. I owe it to all who believe in me and they continue to support me and I owe it to myself, I want to finish the season with the result I know I can give. It will be an interesting weekend and I am ready“.
