Does anyone else think that Kimi Raikkonen might have a drinking problem, because I do. As you will see in the text below he had a lot of accidents involving alcohol last year and he won the title with Ferrari, this year however he is having hard times in championship, maybe they should let him drink. There was similar situation few years ago while he was still driving for Mercedes McLaren, he couldn`t finish most of the races and he looked very sober.

Räikkönen is likely to carry the reputation of a heavy drinking driver for the rest of his driving career. But how does it make him feel? "It doesn't seem to matter what I have in my glass, as everybody always assumes I'm drinking alcohol. I've been in a nightclub on several occasions and behaved myself, but on the following morning I've read from the papers that I've been thrown out of this or that nightclub. Many people get bitter if I don't sign autographs, and they know people who write these stories. However, I refuse to let these things destroy my life."

Kimi Raikkonen is, arguably, one of the most important drivers in Formula One right now. Not only that Ferrari, Renault and Mercedes are dying to sign Finland’s most known pilot, but he is also the current runner-up in the Great Circle. As far as the last GP is concerned – the Hungarian race – Kimi might have given the media too much to write about. After participating in the race, the McLaren driver was invited to one of Red Bulls’ parties in Budapest. We don’t know how much he had to drink at that party, but we can be certain of is that he lost his driving license and 7500 dollars with it.



Kimi himself thinks the media exaggerates a lot and he was very sad about it in the beginning of his career. Whatever he had in his glass, media assumed it was alcohol. Also whenever he goes to a nightclub, media exaggerates a lot, even if he behaves normal. Media has said he has been thrown out because of his bad behavour, which has not been the truth. Kimi admits that he is hurt many times of media in that sense, but he refuses to let it change his life. He knows the stories are used only to sell the papers. "I still do things that I like and if the papers choose to write about them, well, let them do so."
