Drake and Kimi Raikkonen appear to have developed a strong bond, as evidenced by the pop star’s attire at his recent concert in Florida. Raikkonen, the former Formula 1 world champion, retired from the sport in 2021 but remains a beloved figure. Known for his cool demeanor, Raikkonen seems to have a connection with Drake, a Canadian pop icon. This was evident from the outfit Drake wore during his concert in Florida.
Drake performed in Florida over the weekend and shared pictures from the event on his Instagram. The 37-year-old artist wore a stylish ensemble that impressed concert-goers. However, fans couldn’t help but notice the similarities between the F1 champion and the pop star’s pants.
The outfit Drake wore at the concert featured Kimi Raikkonen’s signature and the number 4. Some were confused by the number, as Raikkonen’s driver number in F1 was 7. The 44-year-old Finnish driver took notice of the pants and commented on the post, saying, “Nice pants Mate.” It seems that Raikkonen was pleased to see the pop icon wearing clothing that resembled his autograph at a concert.
Drake is a globally renowned artist, and his connection to Formula 1, particularly the Sauber-run team, is surprising. The 37-year-old serves as a brand ambassador for Stake.com and has a significant presence on the online platform. As a result, Drake announced the new identity of the Sauber-run team in Formula 1, which garnered an impressive 22 million views in just two days.
This achievement was significant for the team, as it is uncommon for a smaller team in Formula 1 to attract such a large viewership. Drake’s involvement proved to be valuable in expanding the team’s reach beyond the traditional F1 audience. It demonstrates the potential of social media for other teams in Formula 1.
Involvement from professionals in different fields is a fantastic way to increase engagement in the sport. It also allows Drake to gain new fans from the F1 community. As a result, Formula 1 could actively collaborate with other personalities to further enhance its growing popularity as the pinnacle of motorsport.
