For which F1 teams did Kimi Räikkönen drive?

Kimi Räikkönen has driven for no less than five different Formula 1 teams during his career. He made a strong impression during a test in Mugello for Sauber, where Michael Schumacher saw great potential in the Finn and strongly recommended him to the team as an F1 driver. As a result, Kimi Räikkönen drove his first Formula 1 season for Sauber in 2001. He impressed everyone and was immediately picked up by the top team McLaren the following year, where he drove for five years.

In 2007, he made the move to Ferrari, where he became world champion that year. After two years of racing alongside Felipe Massa at Ferrari, the Finn was forced to take a break from Formula 1 from 2010 to 2011 because he was replaced by Fernando Alonso, a change desired by the main sponsor of the Italian team, Santander, a Spanish bank.

He returned to Formula 1 with Lotus in 2012, then went back to Ferrari, and drove his last three years in the sport with Alfa Romeo.
