Kimi Raikkonen, known for his calm and collected personality, was one of F1’s most recognizable drivers. After joining the sport in 2001 after signing with Sauber, Kimi has a career spanning over two decades. He has raced for legendary teams like McLaren, Ferrari, Lotus, and Sauber. He secured his first and only world title with Ferrari in 2007 and remains the last drivers’ champion from the Scuderia.

After leaving F1 for a short period to pursue other endeavors, the Finn returned to join the Lotus team. He later did a second stint with his old team, Ferrari partnering with Sebastian Vettel this time. However, in 2019 Kimi was replaced by young Charles Leclerc at Ferrari. After spending the latter stages of his career at Alfa Romeo teaming up with Antonio Giovinazzi, Raikkonen retired from Formula One.

His motorsport career, however, did not end there. The Finn made his debut at the NASCAR Cup Series, which, unfortunately for him, did not end well. Since his NASCAR debut, he has been inactive in the racing scene. Rumors have emerged of Kimi joining an IndyCar crew part-time for 2023, sharing a seat with NASCAR legend Jimmie Johnson.
