Scuderia Ferrari Formula 1 driver Kimi Raikkonen was invited, by the team’s logistics sponsor UPS, to the huge Worldport air hub at Louisville International Airport.

The 2007 F1 World Champion was given access to the flight simulator of a 757 Boeing aircraft used by UPS to deliver worldwide. Raikkonen also enjoyed a remote control Ferrari car race with UPS workers inside the facility.

Speaking about the flight simulator, Kimi said: “It was really interesting. Even if I’m used to very different types of simulator, I have to admit that an aircraft cockpit is particularly interesting, with maybe even more controls than we have in our cockpit.”

While he was there, the Iceman was able to lend a helping hand to UPS workers where they were able to see his hand-eye coordination at the UPS Worldport Smalls Sort.
