Kimi Räikkönen made his official rally debut this weekend, taking part in the Arctic Rally in Lapland. Kimi appeared to be in his element over the past couple of days, smiling, happy and enjoying every minute of the event – even if he did end up making contact with a tree and finishing way down the order. Roll on the Championship.

Kimi Räikkönen made his official rally debut this weekend, taking part in the Arctic Rally in Lapland. It’s easy to imagine that rallying (and in particular coming into contact with trees) requires a lot of mechanical support, but this is very different to the pit stops we see in F1.

Kimi Räikkönen made his official rally debut this weekend, taking part in the Arctic Rally in Lapland. Rallying requires a different skillset to Formula 1, and whilst speed is still the key component, you also have to deal with sharp corners, rough terrain and severe elevation changes.

Kimi Räikkönen made his official rally debut this weekend, taking part in the Arctic Rally in Lapland. One of the things that was obvious when Kimi was in F1 was that he didn’t care about any of the media or politics, but simply wanted to get in a car and drive fast. Rallying offers ample opportunity for this.

Kimi Räikkönen made his official rally debut this weekend, taking part in the Arctic Rally in Lapland. Compared to the repetitive scenery of a Formula 1 circuit, rallying offers some stunning backdrops, coupled with fantastic lighting to produce some excellent photo opportunities and of course, some great action.

Kimi Räikkönen made his official rally debut this weekend, taking part in the Arctic Rally in Lapland. Kimi gets comfortable in his new car, which is a complete departure from single seater racing. Not only does he have a roof over his head, but he has to get used to having a partner alongside him as well.

Kimi Räikkönen made his official rally debut this weekend, taking part in the Arctic Rally in Lapland. Ahead of the action, he posed for some team shots in front of the C4 Citroen he would be racing in, with co-driver Kaj Lindström, and was noticeably happier than he ever looked in the F1 paddock.
