Kimi Raikkonen Merchandise: Kimi Raikkonen is possibly one of the most popular F1 drivers. Until recently, he did not have much of a social media presence, unlike his contemporaries. His don’t-care attitude is one quality that endears him to many fans.

When he speaks, he is brutally blunt as he can be and isn’t afraid of political correctness. Some of his repartees are humorous and meme-worthy.
