Kimi Raikkonen makes his teammate Antonio Giovinazzi sweat when they drive around the Nurburgring Nordschleife together. Giovinazzi doesn't know the track, which is a perfect opportunity for Raikkonen to have some fun with his teammate.

Lap of the Nordschleife

The two drivers will get an Alfa Romeo Giulia to drive one lap over the 'green hell'. Raikkonen visibly enjoys the circuit and perhaps even more so the frightened face of Giovinazzi trying to read questions next to him.

"If I go rallying again, you will be my co-driver," jokes Raikkonen. Giovinazzi doesn't seem to enjoy it as much as Raikkonen does, so when it's his moment for a lap he takes it a lot slower than the Finn.
