Michael called Kimi before the podium!
You can hear in the interview Kimi was asked who called him right before the podium. Kimi said it was Michael Schumacher, but unfortunately he couldn’t understand what Michael was saying. But just the act itself will echo throughout the Tifosi community all over the world. It shows once again the great side of Michael Schumacher.
The interview is translated in German - so turn your speakers up to try to distiguish the English in the background :).
Here’s the video with the podium. Watch Kimi recieving the call from Michael at the begining of the video.


The correct translation is that he did not understand who called him but he thought it was Michael.

Thanks for the update. Later that day Jean Todt confirmed it was Michael: “…Michael calling us when we are going on the podium…”
