There aren’t many drivers who are known more famously by their nickname. Kimi Raikkonen is one such driver who never fails to live up to his nickname- the Iceman. the F1 community gave the Finnish driver that moniker for being ice-cool, enigmatic, and blindingly fast on the grid. We have widely known Kimi Raikkonen for being honest, blunt, and downright to the point. Just a few days ahead of the season opener, Alfa Romeo [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/alfa-romeo/] Racing shared an incredible video from Minttu Raikkonen, Kimi’s wife. In the video, the Finnish driver embodied his nickname, the Iceman, by name and by nature. On a cold snowy day, Kimi [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kimi-raikkonen/] took a dive into an open pool with a splash! The Finnish driver earned his nickname [https://www.essentiallysports.com/f1-news-how-kimi-raikkonen-almost-lived-up-to-his-iceman-nickname/] during his career for the lack of expression displayed in press conferences and on cameras. He appeared ‘cold’, calm, and absolutely under control. ALSO READ – How Big Is the F1 Fuel Tank? [https://www.essentiallysports.com/f1-news-how-big-is-the-f1-fuel-tank/] KIMI RAIKKONEN: LIVING UP TO HIS NICKNAME Kimi Raikkonen has given the Formula 1 community many unforgettable moments as the iceman [https://www.essentiallysports.com/f1-news-kimi-raikkonen-hilariously-trolls-journalists-over-his-motivation-to-stay-in-f1/]. Heikki Kulta, an acclaimed Finnish reporter, shared a few classic Kimi Raikkonen moments. It won’t be wrong to say that the Finnish native is one of the most honest drivers in Formula 1. When it comes to answering a question, he doesn’t engage in subtlety. Such was the case during an interview after the first day of testing in 2004. When Kulta asked him what was his first impression of the new car, Kimi replied [https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.the-real-kimi-raikkonen-a-finnish-perspective-on-the-iceman.1vJ5UrGq7UNTBdBBgnbT4T.html], “It is complete sh*t.” Kimi Raikkonen speaks on stage at the Richard Mille [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1175495169.jpg]SINGAPORE, SINGAPORE – Kimi Raikkonen speaks on stage at the Richard Mille – RM 50-04 Kimi Raikkonen in Singapore. (Photo by Yong Teck Lim/Getty Images for Richard Mille) “I obviously could not pass this message on in the magazine, so, in English, I wrote that the car had not been exactly what Kimi had hoped it would be… Nevertheless, it was true,” recalled the Finnish reporter. This was an interesting moment, where the reporter had to tone down the words said by a Formula 1 driver. That can only happen with Raikkonen. The Finnish driver will complete two decades in Formula 1 this season. We hope to witness a few more classic iceman moments this season. Which is your favorite Kimi Raikkonen moment? Let us know!

<h2>Alfa Romeo: 2021 Latest News, Results, Drivers, and Car Updates</h2>
Although the Italian team joined F1 in 2019, they have a rich history in the sport. The team raced in the inaugural season of Formula One. That year, they won at the hands of Guiseppe Farina.

However, they stuck around only till 1951 before they left the sport as a manufacturer. The Italian marquee returned in 1979 and raced until 1985, though they did not meet the same amount of success.

The 2019 season was the third time that the Alfa Romeo name returned to Formula One.

Alfa Romeo entered the 2020 season with an unchanged driver lineup. In January 2020, the team announced that they would enter a title sponsorship arrangement with Polish oil company PKN Orlen and that Robert Kubica would join as a reserve driver.

Kimi Raikkonen and Antonio Giovinazzi currently drive for the Hinwil-based outfit.
<h2><strong>On-track Achievements</strong></h2>
Having had the privilege of competing in the first-ever Formula One season, Alfa Romeo were one of the teams to beat. They even racked up 10 wins, with one being shared by Luigi Fagioli and Juan Manuel Fangio.

To date, Fangio's win in Spain in 1951 remains the team's last win. Meanwhile, Ricardo Patrese scored the team's last podium in 1984. Since its return once again, the team's best position was 4th and 5th in Brazil 2019.

Unfortunately, the team have dropped down the order this season by virtue of Ferrari's engine woes. So far, the Swiss-based outfit have scored mere eight points in the 2020 season.
<h2><strong>Alfa Romeo's Sponsors</strong></h2>
Alfa Romeo's title sponsor is PKN Orlen, who recently signed on after leaving Williams F1.

<h3><strong>Kimi Raikkonen 2021: Net Worth, Salary and Endorsements</strong></h3>
2007 World Champion Kimi Raikkonen is arguably the most popular Formula 1 driver. His straight-talking, no-nonsense attitude has a fanbase of its own in the F1 circuit. Kimi's nonchalant style and outlook towards racing and life have earned him the moniker of 'Iceman' among fans and experts alike.

The Finn made his Formula One debut back in 2001, along with<a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/fernando-alonso/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> Fernando Alonso</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Pablo_Montoya" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Juan Pablo Montoya</a>. He raced for <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/sauber/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Sauber</a> in his maiden season before jumping ship to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/mclaren/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">McLaren</a>. He would remain with the team until 2006 and moved to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/ferrari/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ferrari</a> a year later.

Kimi Raikkonen tried his hand at rallying for a brief period before returning to F1 in 2o12. Raikkonen spent two seasons at Lotus before rejoining Ferrari in 2014.

After five seasons at the Scuderia, Kimi moved on to Alfa Romeo. The Iceman had come full circle.

<h3>Kimi Raikkonen Stats and Championships</h3>
Kimi Raikkonen added his first F1 win to the tally in 2003 at Sao Paulo, Brazil. The very same year, he almost clinched his first title, but Michael Schumacher denied it on the last race by a difference of two points. However, four years later, the Finnish racing driver secured his only F1 title in 2007 in his first season at Ferrari. Raikkonen ousted both the McLaren drivers by a single point.

So far, Raikkonen has secured 103 podiums over his career in Formula 1, including 21 race wins. Raikkonen also triumphed 18 times in qualifying sessions by securing the pole position.

Raikkonen hit his peak over his final year at Ferrari in 2018 by securing 251 points, his highest ever points finish in a single championship season. Out of the 20 races, Raikkonen reached the podium on 12 occasions.

The Alfa Romeo driver currently holds the record for the most number of <a href="https://www.formula1.com/en/drivers/kimi-raikkonen.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">race starts</a>, beating Rubens Barrichello's 323. At the 2020 Spanish Grand Prix, Raikkonen created yet another new record in terms of distance covered through his career; Fernando Alonso previously held the record for the same.

<strong>Read More -</strong> <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/f1-news-kimi-raikkonen-sets-a-mind-numbing-record-at-the-spanish-grand-prix/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kimi Raikkonen Sets a Mind-Numbing Record at the Spanish Grand Prix</a>
<h3><strong>On-track </strong><b>Achievements</b></h3>
The veteran driver scored his first podium in his very first race for McLaren. A win came his way a year later at the Malaysian Grand Prix. In 16 seasons, Raikkonen has finished in the Top-5 of the championship at least 10 times.

Finally, his moment of glory came in 2007, when he took advantage of the warring duo of Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton. His win streak dried up after the 2013 Australian Grand Prix. But he broke that jinx at the 2018 US Grand Prix.

He currently races for the Alfa Romeo team, even at the age of 41.

<h3><b>Kimi Raikkonen’s Endorsements</b></h3>
When Raikkonen signed for Ferrari for the second time, he limited his personal endorsement opportunities. However, he has been sponsored by the likes of <a href="https://www.selectspecs.com/fashion-lifestyle/kimi-raikkonen-returns-from-retirement-with-oakley-sponsorship/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Oakley</a> and <a href="https://kimiraikkonenspace.com/2014/06/19/wrangler-as-chosen-by-kimi-raikkonen/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Wrangler</a>.

In late 2019, Raikkonen teamed up with American brand <a href="https://www.kimibywestcoastchoppers.com/about-us" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">West Coast Choppers</a> to launch his own clothing line called - 'Kimi'.

Noted Thai beer company Singha and Finnish locking solutions brand iLoq <a href="https://kimiraikkonenspace.com/biography/sponsors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">currently sponsor</a> Raikkonen.
<h3>Contacting Kimi Raikkonen</h3>
Despite being the Iceman, Kimi Raikkonen isn't exactly a very chatty personality. He likes to do his job and get on with life. As a result, he isn't the most engaging or open driver in F1. But that is slowly changing.

In late 2017, Kimi finally joined social media to connect with fans and express himself. He has an official Instagram account where he usually posts a variety of things in and out of the F1 world.

Passionate fans can connect with Raikkonen via his <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kimimatiasraikkonen/?utm_source=ig_embed" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Instagram</a>. He has his <a href="https://www.kimiraikkonen.com/">official website</a>.

Sadly, Kimi has no other social media platforms (Twitter or Facebook). But you never know, Kimi may just widen his social media presence in the future.
<h4>Kimi Raikkonen's House, Personal Life, and Off-Track Endeavors</h4>
The majority of rich and successful F1 drivers tend to choose Monaco as their official residence because of the amazing views. However, Kimi isn't one of them.

The Iceman has two residences - one is in his <a href="https://www.quora.com/Who-owns-the-biggest-home-in-Finland" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">homeplace, Finland</a>, while the other is in Switzerland. However, Raikkonen tends to spend a great deal of time in his luxurious house in Baar, Switzerland.

With Coronavirus bringing the world to a standstill and causing a multitude of problems, Kimi has been a big supporter of the 'Save the Children' fund.
