Nice one Ferrari: Sees crying kid, invites him to meet Raikkonen

Barcelona - Ferrari made a little F1 fan's dream come true after spotting the six-year-old crying as Kimi Raikkonen crashed out of the Spanish GP. 

Raikkonen collided with Red Bull's Max Verstappen during the opening lap and was forced to retire from the race.

Social media reacts

As television cameras panned around the crowd, a tearful six-year-old, Thomas Danel, was spotted sobbing as Raikkonen crashed on track.

Organisers and Ferrari were quick to react and bring the boy, wearing a Ferrari cap and shirt, into the exclusive paddock area with his family to meet Raikkonen.
