The news is finally out! Kimi Raikkonen [https://www.essentiallysports.com/kimi-raikkonen-signs-sauber-2-year-contract/] will leave the Scuderia Ferrar [http://formula1.ferrari.com/en/]i team at the end of the season. However, he will rejoin the Sauber team from 2019 and 2020, the team that he made his debut with in 2001. As a result of the move, Ferrari have called up Charles LeClerc in his place alongside Vettel. To be perfectly honest, this was not a really surprising move to get LeClerc onboard. But many were surprised that Raikkonen would accept a ‘downgrade’ rather than retirement. Here is how Twitter reacted to the news. https://twitter.com/JuanAP1995/status/1039442755511046144

<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.

<strong>Read More -</strong> <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/f1-news-kimi-raikkonen-sets-a-mind-numbing-record-at-the-spanish-grand-prix/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kimi Raikkonen Sets a Mind-Numbing Record at the Spanish Grand Prix</a>
<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.

<strong>Sauber's Net Worth, Salary and Endorsements</strong>

Sauber is another team that has a lot of history in Formula One. Peter Sauber began to work on sports cars back in the 1970s but only entered Formula One from 1993 onwards.

They raced in other motorsport series before dabbling into Formula One. Now, in 2019, according to the latest Sauber F1 news, they will be fielding Antonio Giovinazzi and the returning Kimi Raikkonen.

<strong>On-track Achievements</strong>

Like most new teams, they had a rocky start, with more retirements than finishes. But then, in 1995, German driver Heinz-Harald Frentzen scored a maiden podium in Italy.

Then, in 1996 and 1997, Johnny Herbert picked up a podium in each year, at Monaco and Hungary respectively. Jean Alesi continued the trend for Sauber F1 in 1998 at the Belgian Grand Prix.

Then, it was Nick Heidfeld in Brazil 2001, as he and rookie teammate Kimi Raikkonen helped the team finish 4th in the championship.
