Robin Raikkonen and his parents have a reason to be happy.

      Robin Raikkonen, the 11-year-old son of the 2007 world champion, and his parents have at least two reasons to celebrate this week. First, last Sunday he achieved another victory in the Rotax Max Challenge karting series – this time in Austria.

      Secondly, his parents succeeded in getting a well-known social network to acknowledge its mistake and restore the young racer's account, which had over a hundred thousand followers. In July, we reported that the account had been deleted, but a couple of days ago it became available again, and on Monday new photos were posted, taken recently and dedicated to the young racer's new successes.

      Raikkonen Jr.'s victory in Austria, competing in the Mini class, is already his fourth such achievement this season. Previously, he won races in Italy, Germany, and the Czech Republic. Moreover, he confidently outpaced all his competitors – local racer, 12-year-old Austrian Paul Plattner-Gerambi, who finished in second place, lagged behind him by almost five seconds.

      Minttu, Robin's mother, who also has a second name – Ace, shared a short video clip edited from moments of the racing weekend, choosing as a fitting musical background the famous instrumental piece "Chase the Ace" by the legendary Australian rockers AC/DC.
