When Kimi Raikkonen left Formula1 in 2009
despite having a contract, which made him among the highest paid sports person,
with Ferrari to drive in the 2010 season, it was speculated that he had lost
his passion- the money had gotten to his head. He returned in 2012, having
spent two years in the relative wilderness of the World Rally Championship, and
signed with the newly formed Lotus F1 team. And what a return it was- driving
his way to 3rd in the Driver’s Championship.
