Kimi Raikkonen married partner Minttu Virtanen in a ceremony in Italy at the weekend.

The Ferrari driver wed the model and flight attendant in a ceremony at the Abbey of San Galgano in Tuscany. The ceremony was attended by many of his team, including boss Maurizio Arrivabene and his wife Stefania Bocchi.

Raikkonen left the venue carrying the couple's son, Robin, who was born in January of last year.

In an interview with Finnish publication Kauneus and Terveys, Minttu admitted that Raikkonen was somewhat wary in the early stages of their relationship.

"It took some time before he trusted me," she said. "Kimi is very wary of people. He always wonders if people are sincere or not."

"But eventually we established trust between us and in May last year he asked me to stop work to move in with him in Switzerland to take care of me."

The newlyweds are now off enjoying their honeymoon before Raikkonen is back in action on Friday August 26 for first practice of the Belgian Grand Prix.
