He's been on the grid for all but two seasons since 2001, taking part in over 300 Grands Prix. But the prospect of breaking the record for most race starts holds little excitement for Alfa Romeo's Kimi Raikkonen, who is set to re-write the history books at this year's Austrian Grand Prix.
The Iceman, who made his debut for Sauber at the 2001 Australian Grand Prix, enters the season just 10 GP starts off fellow Ferrari alumnus Rubens Barrichello’s record of 322 race starts. But when asked about approaching the landmark, Raikkonen was typically nonplussed.
“On that, not [excited],” was his reply.
“It gives me nothing, but I’m excited now to have another go and we can improve from this year and learn the lessons from what we’ve done wrong and what we’ve done good and get a bit closer to the front, but time will tell, it’s way too early.
