Kimi Räikkönen and Charles Pic took part in Russian All Stars -race as invited guests to race with Russian racing drivers on an ice-track in Moscow. 

Although the visit on Saturday was a PR-event for Räikkönen and Pic, the Russian champions were racing seriously. Russian's oldest car-magazine "Za Ruljom" (Behind the steering wheel) arranges this traditional race. 

They also have a tradition of inviting international stars to Moscow. Because Renault sponsors the event they sent Räikkönen and Pic there. 

Räikkönen and Pic drove VIP-guests and media reporters around the track in a small Renault Logan.

In between races the F1-drivers raced each other and Räikkönen was much more faster than Pic, as was expected too. 

At the end of the event they arranged two super finals where each driver faced the winner of All Stars -race, the champion of touring-racing Kirill Ladygin, in a duel. 

Ladygin, who is a real professional, beat Pic easily but the situation with Räikkönen was completely different. Kimi battled until the end and was twice just about to overtake Ladygin. However the Russian pilot managed to maintain his position to the finish line. 

After the race Ladygin confessed to the Russian media that the guests weren't offered enough of time to practice and didn't because of that know these cars as well as the Russian drivers.

Mas é óbvio que a disputa com Kimi seria bem mais acirrada! Este pilotos russos não conhecem o Iceman. #fato

E vou ficar quieta, porque do jeito que estou pegando na partida hoje, vou falar coisa que não devo! #vevenoescorrendo #Ludyvenenosa

Beijinhos, Ludy
