- GPblog.com
The announced departure of Kimi Raikkonen has caused quite some reactions. His departure was not entirely unexpected, but 'the Iceman' has been a household name in Formula 1 for years.
Especially his dry answers and team radios will be missed by many fans, but the Finn also has a pretty impressive career after this season. He impressed early on in his career with McLaren, where he scored nine victories. Subsequently, he became world champion with Ferrari in 2007, which makes him, for now, the last champion of the Italian team.

Kimi is an incredible part of our sport, a personal friend and a true champion. I had the privilege of working with him at Ferrari and know the fantastic person he is. We will all miss him & his unique style and wish him and his family the best for the future
