Robin Raikkonen is mastering a cross motorcycle.

      Last weekend, most European countries celebrated Easter, and Kimi Räikkönen's family spent the holiday vacation in Finland, where the former Formula 1 driver has a mansion located in very picturesque surroundings on the Porkkalanniemi peninsula by the Baltic Sea.

      The estate features not only an impressively sized house and other buildings but also a motocross track – about ten years ago, Kimi's neighbors even tried to complain about him to the local authorities because of this, and we reported on it.

      It can be assumed that the issue was resolved one way or another, and the 2007 world champion, known for his long-standing love of motocross, now helps his 11-year-old son Robin master this very interesting sport.

      Actually, Robin Ace Räikkönen mainly engages in karting and is already making his first successes, but a racer can always benefit from piloting skills and other techniques, including two-wheeled ones, as this not only develops specific skills but is also very useful for training balance and overall physical fitness. The main thing is to do everything correctly and try to avoid injuries.

      Robin has his own social media page, and there are several photos where he confidently sits in the saddle of a Kawasaki motocross motorcycle. The choice of brand is obvious, as Kimi, together with his longtime friend and business partner Antti Pyrhönen, has been managing the Kawasaki Racing Team MXGP factory team, which competes in the motocross world championship, for the fourth year now.

      The caption for the photos is short: "Easter vacation in Finland on two wheels." Meanwhile, the photos quickly gathered several thousand likes and a dozen and a half comments in different languages, including one from a fan who gives his recommendations, as he thought that Robin was not holding the right hand on the handlebars correctly, making it uncomfortable for him to use the clutch lever.

      It is worth adding that Rihanna, Robin's younger sister, who is only 8 years old, also already has a motocross motorcycle, and she has also ridden it, but her main passion is artistic gymnastics.
