BARCELONA, SPAIN – FEBRUARY 19: Kimi Raikkonen of Finland and Alfa Romeo Racing looks on at the roll out of the Alfa Romeo Racing C39 Ferrari during day one of Formula 1 Winter Testing at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on February 19, 2020 in Barcelona, Spain. (Photo by Charles Coates/Getty Images) Kimi Raikkonen 2021: Net Worth, Salary and Endorsements 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 Fernando Alonso and Juan Pablo Montoya. He raced for Sauber in his maiden season before jumping ship to McLaren. He would remain with the team until 2006 and moved to Ferrari 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.

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 race starts, 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.
