Frenchman Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema mocked his compatriot Olivier Giroud, likening himself to a "Formula 1" car, while the Chelsea striker was just a Karting car.

In light of his distance from the French national team since 2015, against the backdrop of the scandal extorting his colleague Matteo Valbuena with a pornographic video, Benzema contented with watching Jiro raise the World Cup in the summer of 2018 after crowning «the roosters» the World Cup Russia.

Responding to a question about the Chelsea striker during an Instagram question-and-answer session, Benzema said: “You cannot confuse a Formula 1 car with a karting. Here I speak nicely (i.e., he does not want to hurt Jiro more). "I know that I am a Formula 1 car. He has his career, he does what he wants and sets the goals he wants for himself."
