Kimi Raikkonen, the Finn Formula 1 driver is the only world champion from Finland after the great Mika Hakkinen. He is also the last Formula 1 driver at Ferrari to win a world championship. He won his only world title in 2007 for Ferrari. Apart from Formula 1 racing Kimi Raikkonen is liked by the fans for his attitude off the track.
He is a guy who doesn't show much emotion even during winning his world title in 2007. Kimi Raikkonen had his last win at the COTA in 2018 when he started P2 in the grid. Hamilton who was the championship leader started P1 and in the opening lap Kimi Raikkonen got a better start than Hamilton in the first corner he got the race lead and he was flying after.
Kimi Raikkonen played a subtle role in the 2018 title fight between Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel, Kimi’s teammate in Ferrari. Kimi Helped Vettel by reducing Hamilton’s championship lead in the season. However, Lewis won his fifth title in the next race in Mexico.
'F***ng fnally' - Kimi Raikkonen
Raikkonen along with Ferrari’s rare brilliant strategy earned Kimi’s last-ever race win in his Formula 1 career. After the season Kimi was swapped with Charles Leclerc at the Alfa Romeo which is now Sauber. Though US GP 2018 was the last win of Kimi Raikkonen in F1 the Finn showed complete dominance throughout the race. Hamilton went for a 2 pit stop Strategy and Kimi opted for a Single pit-stop strategy. If Lewis Hamilton had won the race he would have won his championship title but Kimi put a break on Hamilton's title.
The funniest moment was at the podium where during the champagne celebration Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton were busy pouring Champagne over each other while Kimi without spilling a drop started to drink the Champagne which is very classic Kimi.
