At the famous Goodwood Festival of Speed earlier this year, a group of F1 champions gathered for a discussion regarding the sport and how it has evolved over the last 75 years.
Involved in this talk were Mika Hakkinen, Jackie Stewart, Alain Prost, Nigel Mansell, Jacques Villeneuve, Mario Andretti and Emerson Fittipaldi.
The discussion between the seven drivers was released in full on the F1 YouTube channel earlier this week.
Of course, there are various world championship-winning drivers missing from the list - including 2007 title holder Kimi Raikkonen.
Taking to social media, Raikkonen could not resist taking a swipe at the omission via social media.
Responding to the official Formula 1 Instagram post about the meeting, Raikkonen posted a comment that was perfectly in character: "Thanks for the invite."
His deadpan reaction immediately struck a chord with fans, with the comment rapidly going viral and accumulating more than 18,000 likes.
Since his retirement from Formula 1 at the end of the 2021 season, Raikkonen has made only sporadic public appearances, largely stepping away from the motorsport spotlight.
The driver secured the 2007 world title with Ferrari, and throughout his career, he achieved a total of 21 race victories and stood on the podium 103 times.
