To enter F1
Sauber team boss Pitesuobo (Peter Sauber) Finnish guy on this very deep impression on the magic of the performance, so in September 2000 he gave Raikkonen a test drive for Sauber opportunities. When Kimi Raikkonen took part in the Jerez circuit (Circuito Permante de Jerez), and the Circuit de Catalunya (Circuit de Catalunya) of the test, the Sauber signed him immediately to participate in 2001 season. However, there are many critics (including FIA president Max Mosley (Max Mosley) taken into account) claimed that only one participated in 23 games the rookie Formula One race driver F1 super difficult to get a driving license (F1 super license). Finally, not only before the start of Raikkonen won the F1 super driver's license, is still at the child's own Grand Prix 2001 Australian Grand Prix to finish No. 6 position, but got a score (there were only six drivers before the race enjoy the points), so that those critics were silenced.
In the arena, far from Kimi Raikkonen, as some people expect indiscretion, but showed inconsistent with their age as cool and calm, his meticulous game strategy has also been praised by the people - so, it is sent to gave him "Iceman" ( "the iceman") nickname. His outstanding performance in his first season showed his potential to become a first-class driver, so people began to have high hopes for him. Throughout the 2001 season, Kimi Raikkonen with four races in the points, eight in the top eight finish. The year he won nine points, combined with his teammate, Nick Heidfeld (Nick Heidfeld) contributed 12 points, they get together to help the Sauber team the best results in its history, the annual fourth team .
2001 season, McLaren days after the end of Kimi Raikkonen, and not, as everybody expected defected to Ferrari, but by Ron Dennis (Ron Dennis) the invitation, in the two-time world champion, fellow Finn Mika Hakkinen (Mika Häkkinen) strongly referrals, the replacement of the "temporary break year" Hakkinen himself, joined the McLaren team.
Played on behalf of McLaren's first Grand Prix in 2002 Australian Grand Prix, Kimi Raikkonen yew people a surprise - his first podium finish in third place. Although the entire 2002 season, McLaren has been plagued by engine reliability, but Raikkonen still got 24 points and 4 podium finishes, his strength has also been team-mate David Coulthard (David Coulthard) recognition. French Grand Prix, Kimi Raikkonen at a distance of only a few laps when the end of the game is still suppressedForward to this season, almost no one able to beat Michael Schumacher (Michael Schumacher), occupy the lead position. Unfortunately, this time, pressure on the car of his Toyota team Elanmaike Nis (Allan McNish) left traces of oil, skidding ran wide, so that the first name out of the top spot with only second place, but also to Michael * Michael Schumacher won the world title ahead of this station. This season, the drivers Kimi Raikkonen ranked sixth, just before his team-mate David Coulthard fifth after McLaren were given a third of the team results.
2003 season in the 2003 season, FIA started applying the new points system, only six players from the original score to eight players score. Kimi Raikkonen during the year has given people a pleasant surprise. His near-perfect start - the first six races he has five on the podium. The beginning of the season, Kimi Raikkonen in order to back-up car for qualifying, just get the first 15, but beat them in the race Michael Schumacher won the first three. Malaysian Grand Prix in 2003, starting from the No. 7 ranking, and eventually crossed the finish was the first driver, won his race at sub-title.
In the original should be 71-lap Brazilian Grand Prix in 2003, due to heavy rains in emerging crash, in the first 55 laps Raising the Red Flag be interrupted. According to F1 regulations, the champion race belongs to the leading two laps prior to the interruption of driver, in the first 53 laps when Raikkonen ahead of the pack and was convicted of the races.

When other teams have to use and improve the new car, McLaren still in use in 2002 used cars. Raikkonen Imola San Marino Grand Prix in 2003, ranked No. 2, while in 2003 the Spanish Grand Prix qualifying, Raikkonen was forced to deal with misconduct in the final discharge hair, at the start and from the Jaguar Racing's Antonio Pizzonia crashed out of the race.

Monaco Grand Prix in 2003, he distances victory in close proximity, but in the end he was extremely difficult to overtake on this track, on the narrow streets of the disadvantages of less than a second lost his future teammate Hu An Babo Luomengtuoya (Juan Pablo Montoya).
In 2003, the Canadian Grand Prix, Kimi Raikkonen once again pay for the mistakes, only get 6th place, behind winner Michael Schumacher of the station than a minute. In 2003 European Grand Prix qualifying session, Kimi Raikkonen won the Formula One's first career pole, but in the official race to the first 25 laps and the car engine failure forced out of the race.

The next race, Raikkonen respectively in 2003 French Grand Prix was the first 4, 2003 British Grand Prix was the first three, in 2003 Hungarian Grand Prix was the first two, but in the event of accident cases, to withdraw 2003 German Grand Prix.
In 2003, prior to the Italian Grand Prix, McLaren MP4-18 to renounce the introduction of style tanks, continue to continue to play MP4-17D. Raikkonen continued to the old car in 2003, won the Italian Grand Prix No. 4, 2003 United States Grand Prix and the 2003 Japanese Grand Prix have won the first two. Kimi Raikkonen on the podium 10 times due to the outstanding performance, he kept winning suspense until the last race of 2003 season, in recent years has become one of the most intense competition season. However, the ultimate winner of this season did not belong to him, but can Michael Schumacher by two points after a runner-up bad enough to make him satisfied. Unfortunately, however, McLaren lost the team once again the year runner-up position, they are from the runner-up Williams is only a mere two points.
Kimi Raikkonen and McLaren in 2004 but miserable start to the season, the first seven races of his own, only one point accounted for the poor. The McLaren is the repeated failures of technology (especially the engine reliability issues due to frequent blow-ups) are troubled by the direct result of Raikkonen in the first seven races only two finish. Raikkonen seven points compared to only get a points race, Michael Schumacher, covering almost six races accumulated 60 points. In 2004, the Canadian Grand Prix, Kimi Raikkonen pitted up to 5 times, but because of Williams and Toyota were disqualified, allowing Raikkonen was No. 5.

The next race, Raikkonen in the first three completed in 2004 Chinese Grand Prix, the first six complete 2004 Japanese Grand Prix, as well as the first two completed in 2004 Brazilian Grand Prix. In the end, Kimi Raikkonen with 45 points and 4 podium performance to the results fairly decent seventh year to end this season.
While disappointing 2004 season, but Kimi Raikkonen or with Renault's Fernando Alonso (Fernando Alonso), Sauber's Felipe Massa (Felipe Massa) and his teammate in 2005, monto Asia was the world together as a rising star and the F1 world championship competition in a strong candidate. Many commentators also believe that in the 2005 season Zhezhi from Woking (Woking) team has a strong lineup will be very competitive. The Ross Brawn (Ross Brawn) and Jean Todt (Jean Todt), also known as the future of Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen could become the main driver.
In early November 2004, Raikkonen had expressed his manager Steve Robertson (Steve Robertson) with the intention of building a team, this team will Mingjiao Lai Raikkonen Robertson Racing, it will will participate in the 2005 season Formula 3 race.
In the July 31, 2004, 24-year-old Raikkonen and 2000 Scandinavian lady, 22-year-old Jenni Dahlman (Jenni Dahlman) married.
Kimi Raikkonen in 2005, the start of a mediocre season, this is because the McLaren MP4-19 car design is not suitable for Michelin tires, resulting in not qualifying for a better ranking.
At the start of the season's first three Grand Prix qualifying, Raikkonen can win the best ranked only No. 6. In his 2005 Australian Grand Prix race, the car does not start at the starting line, leading to Kimi Raikkonen in that game to the end of the first eight, only get a mere one point. In 2005 Malaysian Grand Prix, Kimi Raikkonen in the race car's tire bursting, became the season at a game using only a single driver in the tire, the first victim, unable to earn any points. In the subsequent 2005 Bahrain Grand Prix was the first time on the podium.
After the 2005 season, after some insipid start, Kimi Raikkonen respectively in 2005 San Marino Grand Prix, 2005 Spanish Grand Prix and the Monaco Grand Prix in 2005 removed three consecutive pole position. In Imola (Imola), he soon as he starts on establishing a huge advantage, but again due to condition of the car was forced to withdraw. In the Spanish Grand Prix, his performance is impeccable, he was lead from start to finish, eventually won the title with great advantage. He then was given a most challenging Monaco Grand Prix winner, this time his lead in the driver standings on 22 points of Alonso only a thin. 2005, the first half of the European Grand Prix with Kimi Raikkonen in turn seem to indicate easy victory, but due to shoulder in the game too ruthless to eat (also it is said that he was acting with undue haste in a second after overtaking the brakes locked up causing serious tire wear ), as well as injury to his right front wheel to make it lose a round. As the 2005 season, the rule provides that, in qualifying and the race must use the same set of tires the final, unless there is a puncture, otherwise the driver allowed to change tires. Finally the end of the last lap of the big straight overwhelmed his suspension collapsed, Raikkonen's car hit a tire wall directly, but also the title was surrendered to behind Alonso, and he suddenly opened the 10 points gap. Raikkonen has the benefit of hindsight after the game should be chosen to explore insist on the track or slow down to protect the tires, get a relatively safe second place or third place.
But next race in Canada Raikkonen again into his own victory in the track, he is seventh on the grid, with Fernando Alonso at the first heavy oil strategies and errors in the game, and in the right tire wear is very Montreal won the serious. In this station, Raikkonen said that the United States, Indianapolis, next to the McLaren car more suitable. But the station has become the largest in the history of F1 disaster - because of Ralf Schumacher (Ralf Schumacher) in the Friday practice on the crash, it was discovered that there are security risks Michelin tires, so the positive pre-race All Michelin teams selected out of the race (including the McLaren included). This means that in addition Raikkonen no choice but to abandon the race, which also led to the United States Grand Prix in 2005 with only a mere six cases, the completion of a race car.
However, after the French Grand Prix, Raikkonen misfortune come to him, his new Mercedes-Benz engine, only in the Friday practice on the operation of dozens of kilometers on the strike. He was forced to replace the engine and back under the new rules to accept 10-bit start penalty. Although Raikkonen was third in qualifying, only after receiving punishment in his Sunday's race on the only 13th on the grid has. However, by virtue of the McLaren pit-stop strategy and Kimi Raikkonen well their excellent driving skills, he finished second after Alonso. In the British Grand Prix on the misfortune come again, engine oil leakage in the Saturday practice session leading to his only 12th place on the grid (although on the qualifying lap he only inferior to Alonso). Kimi Raikkonen on the start of the race to show great strength, beyond the four on the first lap the car. But after he was Light's Michael Schumacher and Jarno Trulli of repression, but by virtue of the last pit stop he was beyond them. The second half of the race, Raikkonen before being stuck in traffic due to the loss of too much time, only came in the first 4-bit, can not top two, and Alonso's team-mate Juan Pablo Montoya a threat. As the original Fisichella came in third in the last pit stop of staff mistakes, Raikkonen able to rise to third place, the result relative to his 12th place grid position, but still quite good.
In the German Grand Prix, the whole weekend ahead of Raikkonen in the race but suffered a hydraulic failure (according to some media reports, the hydraulic problems arise is due to a valve in the examination, the staff had not been screwed tight and purely human error), the victory and 10 points once again gave Alonso. This is the third time this season Raikkonen in the leading position in the exit. This is the biggest beneficiary of the three Alonso - winner of the three are his. These are also used as the McLaren car reliability is not sufficient evidence of one of the (other there is the early part of last season on the podium in his almost certain the case of a puncture, as well as in France and the United Kingdom successive engine failure), which is also almost certainly the end of the championship this season - although a lot of perspective from Kimi Raikkonen, are the season's best driver.
It is worth noting that, although the Hungarian Grand Prix, Raikkonen in the McLaren before the start of that was happy, but he is still to the media hinted that if the car's reliability is still no improvement, he may contract in 2006 to period to leave McLaren. He told reporters: "We must find ways to make the car more reliable." And he compared the performance of Michael Schumacher also gives footnotes to this rumor.
Kimi Raikkonen in qualifying was not ideal circumstances, once again dominated the Hungarian Grand Prix. Is not very good in qualifying simply because he was standing on a Hockenheim out, led him to this point can only be the first one in this incomparable and notorious for dirty track qualifying run. However, he avoided the initial accident, and with excellent speed and pit stops to get title, while Alonso was halfway out of the race because of the one scoreless. In the implementation of the controversial new qualifying rules after the driver can not start qualifying the case of the first champion. In the three-week rest period, Raikkonen again in the new Turkish Grand Prix won the championship. This time he finally got the pole position, although in the first lap by Fisichella, but in the same lap, he returned to the first place, after never faced any challenge. Only that the original team-mate Juan Pablo Montoya currently ranked second in the two errors in the final laps to give the previous runner-up of more than 10 seconds behind Alonso, so he was runner-up, multi-won 2 points for Raikkonen The victory cast a bit sorry.
In the two weeks after the 2005 Italian Grand Prix, while Kimi Raikkonen took pole position in qualifying, but once again faced due to the replacement engine back 10 start penalty. While team-mate Kimi Raikkonen's car carrying more than five laps, 6 laps more than Alonso of petrol, speed is still faster than them. While McLaren's one-stop strategy worked when the car's left tire burst and was forced to pit to change tires. (At the time the pits to change tires are not allowed to refuel, they are virtually require two stops.) Out of station, the location had fallen to 12th place, turn the tide after the end only in the first four games.
