According to IS Kimis and Minttus baby will be born in Switzerland, in the hospital near their house Villa Butterfly. There they have private room for the family. The baby should come any day now.

Maybe will be more peaceful there without much press.
With both parents being Finns, I guess the baby will have both nationalities anyway.
I hope everything turns out OK for the whole family.
I'm not surprised, Kimi mainly lives in Switzerland and especially now when he has to be in Maranello it's easier as he isn't too far away. And sure it's more peaceful too.
No baby will be a Finn, you don't get a citizenship just by being born in a country. If neither parent is Swiss, the baby isn't either.

Gazzetta wrote that the baby has no name yet as it's finnish tradition and will be given in 6-8 weeks is that true Apple?
Yes, in Finland it is. Parents have 6-8weeks to organize babys christening , if there is no hurry, for example baby had some disease. But it was said in newspaper Kimis and Minttus baby has to have a name according to Swiss laws. I agree, specially Seb looks like er... Justin Bieber.
Heikki Kulta talked with Steve Robertson. He said Kimi might drive longer if the season goes well with the car, team and Seb. He talked about Kimi and Vettel, said they have healthy trust and respect to each others, which was built as Seb was a rookie in f1 and Kimi travelled wit him . During those days Seb learned he can trust Kimi in every situation. He believes there will be good year for Ferrari driverwise.
quoteNot necessarily the last year in F1 for Räikkönen
Could a good season in 2015 extend Kimi's career? - He has, above all, to enjoy the driving. If the driver is doing well and he has the feeling that everything works, the enthusiasm infects the entire team. If that happens, I believe that it is possible that Kimi could still run through this longer.
It is rare in F1 at the top that drivers can be as good friends with each other than Raikkonen and Vettel are.
At the beginning of his career Sebastian was Kimi's travel mate. That's where it started to develop. Sebastian saw Kimi as straightforward friend whom he could trust without reservation. It seems to be common and they seem to have a lot of common interests. Sometimes it just happens in racing world that drivers will have good friendship, although the competition between them is always hard, Robertson explains.
How close was that Vettel and Raikkonen would have been teammates last year with Red Bull? We had a great number of meetings. At one point, it seemed that indeed it is happening. Then, some things changed, and it didn’t, but at least it seemed to me at one time that it will become true.
Is Vettel then the ideal team-mate for Räikkönen? I think he is. First of all, they come along extremely well with each other and, secondly, they have a high mutual respect for each other. In the Ferrari team, the direction is now common the package will certainly be better. Sebastian and Kimi are just the right combination for the team, Robertson considers.
