Kimi Raikkonen is also a minor shareholder of the newly-renamed Lotus team, according to reports.<\/p>\n
Spain’s El Mundo Deportivo, and Italy’s Italiaracing, claim the 2007 world champion traded income and performance bonuses for an actual slice of the Genii-controlled team that is based at Enstone, UK.<\/p>\n
He “could be the first ‘driver-owner’ in F1 in more than twenty years,” the Spanish newspaper claimed.<\/p>\n
El Mundo said Finn Raikkonen, 32, proposed the idea to Williams but it did not take place “perhaps because (the British team) is listed on the stock exchange”.<\/p>\n
Together with his management team headed by David and Steve Robertson, Raikkonen had his own ‘Double R’ F3 team.<\/p>\n
And he competed in world rallying this year with his own outfit by the name of Ice1 Racing, which is also involved in motocross.<\/p>\n
