The Finnish Formula One driver is leaving Ferrari. Raikkonen, who won the 2007 Formula One title with Ferrari, will drive the next two seasons for Sauber, the team with which he started his F1 career in 2001. “Next two years with @sauberf1team ahead! Feels extremely good to go back where it all began!” Raikkonen posted on his Instagram account. Raikkonen has 20 wins and 100 podium finishes in his F1 career. Nine of those wins came with Ferrari, where he had been since 2014. He also was with the team from 2007 through ’09 before leaving for the World Rally Championship for two years.
