Watch: 'Drunk' Kimi Raikkonen steals the show at F1 awards and wins the internet

F1 legend Kimi Raikkonen is known as 'The Iceman' for his cold and quiet behaviour in the Formula One circles. But the former world champion decided to let it all go at the FIA awards night on Saturday and ended up stealing the show.

Kimi Raikkonen seemed like enjoying himself to the fullest at the FIA Prize Giving gala and looked a little tipsy.

He was seen chatting exitedly with his colleagues like Sebestian Vettel and trying to smoke a cigar. It seemed his effusive behavior was helped by the drinks at the table.

The best moment was when he walked on stage to accept his award for coming third in the drivers’ championship. He acknowledged the crowd and applauded Vettel before offering his teammate a little bow.

“Kimi has enjoyed tonight a lot,” even the presenter acknowledged.

Everybody seemed to enjoy this new person of his. Raikkonen's behaviour caught the attention of many- specially the social media - as he became the fodder for many memes and jokes.

‘Everyone is going to be talking about Hamilton’s outfit and Vettel’s moustache tonight.’
