Kimi Raikkonen: \u2018Thanks for the invite\u2019<\/p>\n
A who\u2019s who of racing royalty was in the house for the Goodwood Festival of Speed, and Formula 1 brought together a collection of its most iconic stars for a trophy-laded roundtable.<\/p>\n
Appearing in the social media post were multi-time World Champions Sir Jackie Stewart, Alain Prost, Mika Hakkinen and Emerson Fittipaldi.<\/p>\n
Also making a roundtable appearance were 1992 World Champion Nigel Mansell, Mario Andretti (1978) and Jacques Villeneuve (1997). As the social post pointed out, Formula 1 had a total of 14 world championships sitting around that table.<\/p>\n
It would have been 15 if they invited Kimi Raikkonen!<\/p>\n
\u2018The Iceman\u2019 became one of Formula 1\u2019s most popular characters across an impressive career, which produced a 2007 World Championship and 349 grand prix starts.<\/p>\n
As well as for his racing talents, fans connected with Raikkonen due to his hilarious no-nonsense personality. Outbursts such as his \u2018just leave me alone, I know what to do\u2019, became iconic in the world of Formula 1, as did his \u2018bwoah\u2019.<\/p>\n
It was typical Kimi Raikkonen then when he sarcastically thanked Formula 1 for the roundtable invite which he never received.<\/p>\n
Replying to the post, Raikkonen simply put: \u201cThanks for the invite.\u201d<\/p>\n
