The Belgian Grand Prix [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belgian_Grand_Prix] got off to a dramatic start after Red Bull’s Max Verstappen got off to a bad start. He then tried to compensate for it by diving down the inside of Kimi Raikkonen [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kimi-raikkonen/]. Unfortunately, the veteran Finn got tagged by Verstappen, and was sent a bit airborne. While Raikkonen was able to continue, albeit with some damage, but Verstappen’s left front folded with a broken suspension. To the dismay of the orange army, they were forced to watch as Verstappen’s out-of-control Red Bull crashed into the barrier. https://streamable.com/jjf0i

<strong>History</strong>

The Formula One World Championship first started back in 1950. The very first F1 champion was Italy's Guiseppe Farina who raced for Alfa Romeo.

The sport has had 33 different champions in its history and a few of them are multiple championship winners. Currently, the driver with the most championships is <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/michael-schumacher/">Michael Schumacher</a> with 7 under his belt. However, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/mercedes">Mercedes</a> driver <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lewis-hamilton/">Lewis Hamilton</a> will be eager to overhaul that. Hamilton currently holds 6 World Championships and stands on the cusp of equalling Michael Schumacher's record at the end of the season.

<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.

<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'.

<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.

In 2018, Kimi <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/kimi-raikkonens-book-all-the-secrets-from-the-finns-biography/">released his biography</a>, titled, "The Unknown Kimi Raikkonen."

Raikkonen isn't one to shy away from ink and has multiple tattoos. The most prominent one, however, is the easily recognizable "Iceman" tattoo on his forearm.

Raikkonen is greatly involved in charity work but prefers to stay away from the limelight.

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.

Raikkonen often takes part in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FSNWWU8gsc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">charity football matches</a> alongside his fellow drivers. He and other drivers helped raise funds for Fondazione Telethon, an organization dedicated to cancer research.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Max Verstappen 2024: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</h2>
Max Verstappen was a child prodigy who was roped in by Red Bull F1 at a very young age. He moved into F1 directly from F3 at the age of 17 during the 2015 Australian Grand Prix, partneringÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/carlos-sainz/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Carlos Sainz Jr</a> in Toro Rosso. For the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix, he was promoted to Red Bull, a race that he won. There was a lot of hype around his entry into Formula 1, and it was completely justified.

<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center"><strong>Max Verstappen's Stats and On-track </strong><b>Achievements</b></h2>
Considering the age at which he joined Formula 1, he has multiple records to his name. He is the youngest driver to start a race, score points, be a race leader, step on the podium, and set the fastest lap. Sadly, the one record that eluded him was the Youngest pole sitter, a record that still belongs to <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sebastian-vettel/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Sebastian Vettel</a>.

With his race win at the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix, he also became the youngest driver to win a Grand Prix. 2019 initially remained one of his best seasons in F1. He had to take a leadership role in the team with Daniel Ricciardo departing to Renault. Max Verstappen took 3 race victories and 2 pole positions to bring glory to both Red Bull and an ailing Honda.

However, then arrived the 2021 season, which witnessed the best version yet of Verstappen. Verstappen went in level on points with Lewis Hamilton heading into the season finale at Abu Dhabi. Both drivers were on 369.5 points and after a high-tension battle for the championship, the Dutchman ousted his rival, to clinch his first-ever title in F1.

Max Verstappen upped the ante the following season, claiming his 2nd Drivers' Championship in 2022 with 454 points. The 2023 season was Verstappen's most dominant as he clinched a hattrick of Drivers' titles with a record 86.35 win percentage. He won a total of 19 out of the 22 races in the 2023 season.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">Max Verstappen: New racing number</h2>
Having won the world championship title in 2021, Verstappen earned the privilege of replacing his previous number, 33, with 1. The rulebook of F1 suggests that any driver that manages to win a title would have the option of sporting #1 over the succeeding season. However, if the driver fails to defend their title that year, they would have to revert to their usual number in the following season.

One might wonder why there hasn't been a driver sporting this prestigious number over all these years. Well, since the hybrid era, only two drivers, apart from Verstappen, have won titles; Hamilton and Rosberg. While the latter retired right after his championship-winning year, denying himself of embracing the king's treatment, Hamilton chose to run with his favorite number, 44, instead.
<h2 class="jsx-8c85ea4b4bcf4dfc" style="text-align: center">Max Verstappen: Net Worth 2024</h2>
Naturally, the kind of personality Verstappen is, he always finds himself in the news good or bad. But at the end of the day, Verstappen delivers on the track and Red Bull doesn't want to lose their star driver. The Dutchman is contracted to Red Bull until the end of 2028.

Max Verstappen

Max Verstappen 2024: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements Max Verstappen was a child prodigy who was roped in by Red Bull F1 at a very young age. He moved into F1 directly from F3 at the age of 17 during the 2015 Australian Grand Prix, partneringÂ Carlos Sainz Jr in Toro Rosso. For the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix, he was promoted to Red Bull, a race that he won. There was a lot of hype around his entry into Formula 1, and it was completely justified. He has always been classified as the next big thing in Formula 1, and many anticipate him to do what Lewis Hamilton is doing in the current F1 era. Such is his might and skill, that former F1 drivers, Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso,Â labeledÂ him as one of the best F1 drivers on the grid. But his skill also comes with him being a hot head oftenÂ known to say controversial statements or target teams/players directly.
