Former champion Kimi Raikkonen denied entry in Flavio Briatore’s Billionaire nightclub – Formula 1
It has been revealed that the 2007 Formula 1 world champion Kimi Raikkonen was so eager to enjoy this past weekend’s Monaco Grand Prix that he rushed from a nationwide race in the US late Saturday night in order to get to his yacht’s open spa.
Later on, the Finn decided to go to former Renault team principal Flavio Briatore’s famous “Billionaire” nightclub with some friends where he was refused entry.
Raikkonen with his friends who are apparently “The Dudesons,” a group of comedy actors who appear in a TV show. They enjoyed some time together at Kimi’s famous spa before heading to Briatore’s nightclub where the guards on duty refused to recognise the
18-time race winner.
The 31-year-old driver as a result failed to rebuke the bouncers of the nightclub and took the party somewhere else while enjoying his secrecy.
Briatore on the other hand, recently came on the highly famous motoring show Top Gear this past weekend during the Monaco Grand Prix in order to talk to the media. The former Renault boss also strolled the paddock and grid during the Monaco Grand Prix and
it seemed like he had a nice time.
Kimi Raikkonen was the winner of the 2007 Formula 1 season while his team Ferrari enjoyed the constructors’ title as well since McLaren were disqualified from the constructors’ standings completely.
Raikkonen finished just a single point ahead of the two McLaren drivers Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton. However, the Finn failed to perform up to the mark after that and left the sport after the 2009 Formula 1 season as Ferrari decided to replace him
with the two-time Formula 1 world champion Fernando Alonso.
Since then, Kimi decided to stay away from the F1 world as much as he could and joined NASCAR claiming that it is more enjoyable as compared to Formula 1. He added that he would like to continue his motorsports career in NASCAR at least for a couple of years’
time.
