Räikkönen entered
Formula One as a regular driver for Sauber-Petronas in 2001.
In 2002 he switched to McLaren Mercedes and became a title
contender by finishing runner-up in the 2003 (Schumacher)
and 2005 (Alonso) championships. Räikkönen's 2003 and 2005
seasons were plagued by severe unreliability from his
McLaren cars.
Räikkönen switched to Ferrari in 2007 where he
secured his first Formula One World Drivers' Championship,
beating McLaren drivers Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso
by one point. And he was one of the very few drivers to win
in their first season at Ferrari.
He left Ferrari to drive a
Citroën C4 WRC for the Citroën Junior Team in the World
Rally Championship for 2010. He did also try NASCAR and made
his debut for Kyle Busch Motorsports in the Camping World
Truck Series.
Räikkönen has signed a 2 year deal with Lotus for the 2012
and 2013
Formula One season. |

over Piquet's seat from the European Grand Prix onwards.
At the start of 2011, Grosjean returned to the newly branded
Lotus Renault GP team as one of five test drivers. In late
October 2011, Lotus Renault announced that Grosjean would
drive in the Friday practice session in the Abu Dhabi Grand
Prix (replacing Senna) and the Brazilian Grand Prix (replacing
