Raikkonen: My favourite trophy? The gorilla!

Kimi Raikkonen's Instagram is truly a place of wonder. Whether his DIY around the house - making repairs "so the cats can't sh*t in the sandbox", or his little boy Robin's increasingly cute first steps in motorsport, we are certified fans of the Iceman's social media game.

The Ferrari driver took that up a notch on Monday, relaxing after the German Grand Prix, by hosting a live Q+A on his Instagram page. Yep, that's right. What a time to be alive.

We didn't get too much out of the Kimster - having selected a question about his favourite race, his response was STILL a typical "Bwoah, impossible to say" - but a revelation about his favourite trophy in F1 raised a smile.

"I think the gorilla, I think it was a gorilla, trophy from France this year was pretty nice," Raikkonen said.

"Even though a lot of people said it's not, but it is something different so I think that's why it's nice.

"Obviously the best is the world championship trophy, it's a more important one."

That's right. The gorilla you all thought was too weird. That's the one Kimi liked.

Never change, old friend...
