There are sports personalities who manage to enter the hearts of the fans with a few words and simple gestures. One of these is undoubtedly Kimi Raikkonen. The former Finnish Ferrari driver, among other things the last to have managed to win the drivers’ title for Maranello, in the now distant 2007, has returned to be talked about thanks to a video that has gone viral on social networks, which he resumed giving comfort to a dog left momentarily in the car by his owners. Kimi, on vacation in Tuscany, went out for a walk with his little daughter to eat an ice cream. When, as he passed a car, he noticed the presence of a little dog inside, he filled his cup with water and quenched his thirst through the crack in the window. Then he walked away with his baby and, noticing who was filming him, he let himself go to a shake of the head. As if to say, “But how can you leave a dog in the car in this heat?”.
