A huge victory for Robin Raikkonen yesterday, as he clinched his first karting championship at the Bahn Wohlen circuit, with proud dad Kimi watching from the sidelines

Like father, like son, or so it seems. Robin Ace Matias Raikkonen, son of Minttu and Kimi Raikkonen, has just won his first karting championship, triumphing in the Rotax Max Challenge Swiss finals in the Micro Max category, designed for kids aged 7 to 10.

The victory was celebrated in true racing style, with champagne and podium celebrations captured by mom Minttu, after Robin’s triumph in wet conditions — challenging even for the youngest racers.

“I won the RMC Switzerland championship, and I can’t wait to race in the RMC Grand Finals in Sarno!” the young Robin shared on social media, expressing his excitement.
