Ferrari driver Kimi Raikkonen will contest the Canadian Grand Prix [https://www.essentiallysports.com/things-look-canadian-grand-prix/] on Sunday. However, the veteran Finn has a sexual assault allegation hanging over his head. In response, he slapped an extortion attempt case against his accuser. A waitress claimed that the Formula One driver sexually assaulted her in a Montreal bar in 2016. Raikkonen has filed a complaint with police, claiming he’s been threatened with public accusations of sexual misconduct, unless he pays financial compensation. The woman claims that Raikkonen groped her and he was drunk. She also said that one of Raikkonen’s friends was also allegedly involved. Raikkonen’s legal team revealed that they received a letter last month stating she would go public with the accusations. The only condition was that she received a sizeable compensation. Jamie Benizri, the woman’s representative said that money wasn’t the reason behind the original complaint. Kimi Raikonnen [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Kimi-Raikkonen_3228802-300x169.jpg]Kimi Raikkonen “It was not a question of cashing out and running to the bank. It was a question of trying to understand what happened in 2016,” Benizri said. He also likened Raikkonen’s extortion complaint to “trying to kill an ant with a bazooka.” Raikkonen comes to Montreal this week for the Canadian Grand Prix, following his fourth place finish in last week’s Monaco GP. He is currently sitting in fifth in the world championship, fifty points behind championship leader Lewis Hamilton. The 38-year-old is out of contract with Ferrari at the end of the 2018 season. However, Ferrari president, Sergio Marchionne [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergio_Marchionne] said that the Finnish driver “is not involved in the least” in the case. “Kimi has nothing to do with this story. As to how it will affect his contract, then in any case they are two completely unrelated things,” Marchionne added. Earlier, there were rumours that Raikkonen could switch from Ferrari to world rally for the 2019 season. 

Kimi Raikkonen is currently embroiled in a case of sexual assault, which dates
back to 2016. Now, the Finn has filed an extortion case against his accuser

<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.

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.

<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.
