Kimi Raikkonen, otherwise known as the ‘Iceman’, is a Formula One driver for Alfa Romeo.
Raikkonen made his debut in 2001 for Sauber and has gone on to drive for the likes of Ferrari, McLaren and Lotus.
In 2002, he made the switch to McLaren to partner Scottish driver David Coulthard. The Finn wasn’t able to secure a world title while at McLaren, though he went close in 2003 and 2005, and he moved to Ferrari in 2007 to replace the retiring Michael Schumacher.
This move led to his greatest career achievement in F1, the 2007 World Championship win for Ferrari, where he won by a single point ahead of Lewis Hamilton.
Raikkonen left the sport and took part in WRC and NASCAR between 2010 and 2011 before returning in 2012 to drive for Lotus. He subsequently returned to Ferrari for a further few seasons, notably partnering Sebastian Vettel, before leaving in 2018 for Alfa Romeo – who are basically his former Sauber side.
