Kimi Räikkönen retired from Formula One at the end of 2021. He was often regarded as one of the most fierce drivers of his time. Räikkönen is still the last driver to win a Championship title for Ferrari, a feat he achieved in 2007. Throughout his Formula One career spanning 349 starts, Räikkönen has raced for teams such as Lotus, McLaren, Ferrari, Sauber and lastly Alfa Romeo.
Räikkönen had a highly successful Formula One career with 103 podiums, 18 pole positions and 21 wins. He received the moniker ‘Iceman’ owing to his Nordic origins and fondness of Ice cream. The Finnish driver also briefly competed in the NASCAR Cup Series and the World Rally Championship. Since his retirement in 2021, Räikkönen has enjoyed his time with family away from the spot light.
Räikkönen met his wife Minttu through mutual friends and the pair immediately hit it off. After dating for a few years, the couple got married in 2016. Minttu is a fitness model and former air hostess by profession. Presently, she runs her own kid’s apparel brand called Gugguu Kids Fashion.
