Earlier today, Alfa Romeo [https://www.sauber-group.com/] drivers Kimi Raikkonen [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kimi-raikkonen/] and Antonio Giovinazzi [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/antonio-giovinazzi/] unveiled their official 2019 livery ahead of the pre-season test. Since this is the first time the drivers are going around the track in their 2019 machinery, mistakes are expected. Even F1 veteran, Kimi Raikkonen was not spared. The Finn had only just come out on track when his lost the rear of his car. In a separate incident, Sebastian Vettel also spun around, but he was able to carry on. However, his former teammate wasn’t so lucky as he skidded off the tarmac into the kitty litter and got beached. The embarrassed 2007 F1 World Champion was left to explain to the team what went wrong as the C38 got towed back. While in the stricken car, he tried to get out as soon as he could but only succeeded in budging slightly and it was curtains for Kimi Raikkonen.

<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.

<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'.

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.

Kimi Raikkonen was notably in a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140816054221/http://www.seiska.fi/_content/Kimi-R?ikk?nen-and-Jenni-Dahlman-R?ikk?nen-confirm%3A-%22Separation-is-a-sad-fact%22/550458" target="_blank" rel="noopener">relationship</a> with the Finnish model, Jenni Dahlman. The pair were married for a decade before <a href="https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/kimi-raikkonen-splits-with-wife-jenni/431527/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">calling it quits</a> in 2o14.

In 2016, Kimi tied the knot once again, thus transitioning into a family man. They have two kids - Robin and Rianna.

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.

He also has a <a href="https://www.sauber-group.com/motorsport/formula-1/team/kimi-raikkonen/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">host of hobbies such as</a> motocross, snowboarding, and ice hockey.

<strong>Foundations and Charity Work</strong>

Raikkonen is greatly involved in charity work but prefers to stay away from the limelight.

His straight-talking, no-nonsense attitude has a fanbase of its own in the F1 circuit. Kimi&#8217;s nonchalant style and outlook towards racing and life have earned him the moniker of &#8216;Iceman&#8217; 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.
