This is an In Person Signed Colour 12" x 8" Photo of the Finnish Formula 1 Driver in the Ferrari.
Kimi-Matias Räikkönen born 17 October 1979 in Espoo), nicknamed Iceman, and occasionally described as "the fastest driver on the planet", is a Finnish World Rally Championship and former Formula One driver. After nine seasons racing in Formula One, in which he took the 2007 Formula One World Drivers' Championship, he now competes in the World Rally Championship for the Citroën Junior Team. Räikkönen entered Formula One as a regular driver for Sauber-Petronas in 2001. Having previously only raced in very junior open-wheel categories, he was given his Super Licence from the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) after a performance delivery promise by his team boss, Peter Sauber. He joined McLaren Mercedes in 2002, and became a title contender by finishing runner-up in the 2003 and 2005 championships to Michael Schumacher and Fernando Alonso, respectively. Räikkönen's 2003 and 2005 seasons were plagued by severe unreliability from his McLaren car, resulting in many pundits speculating that without the problems, he would have already been World Champion. Switching to Ferrari in 2007, Räikkönen became the highest paid driver in motor sport with an estimated wage of $51 million per year. In turn his move to Ferrari saw him secure his first Formula One World Drivers' Championship, beating McLaren drivers Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso by one point, as well as becoming one of the very few drivers to win in their first season at Ferrari. After two more years in the sport, he left the Ferrari F1 team to drive a Citroën C4 for the Citroën Junior Team in the World Rally Championship for 2010.
