KIMI RAIKKONEN

Kimi Raikkonen was contracted to Ferrari for 2010, but was paid not to race in F1 by the team to accommodate the signing of Fernando Alonso. After talks with Mclaren for ’10 came to nothing, he competed in the WRC for two years before returning to F1 with Lotus in ’12 and re-emerging as a race winner. The Ferrari driver is now in his seventh season since coming back.
