Kimi's custom cruiser

Nicknamed "The Iceman", for his cool and collected driving style, Kimi Raikkonen nevertheless displays flashes of his Viking ancestry off the track.
In March this year, rather than prepping for the coming season as were his rivals, Raikkonen was winning a snowmobile race in is native Finland, with the pseudonym "James Hunt". Later that year saw him compete under the same name, this time in a powerboat race and dressed as a gorilla.

That however is tame compared to Raikkonen's antics in 2005 at London strip club "For Your Eyes Only" where he cavorted with a lapdancer before performing his own striptease. His team boss at the time, Ron Dennis was said to be less than amused. Still, whatever it is he does to blow off steam away from the track certainly appears to keep him focused while he's on it; his consistency gained him the F1 World Championship by just one point.

Reportedly the highest paid Grand Prix driver, Raikkonen could surely have celebrated in just about any way in which he saw fit but in fact what he chose to do was commission a custom motorbike from Walz Hardcore Cycles of Hockenheim, Germany. Having previously created "Iceman" for the driver, this new bike is imaginatively dubbed "Iceman 2". Well bike builders are famed for their creativity with metal, not words. The machine, a drop-seat hardtail is finished in Ferrari red and carries Prancing Horse badges. With absolutely no rear-suspension and an F1-esque back tyre, Iceman 2 looks better suited to smooth race tracks than the open road. Still Raikkonnen does always have the option of his company car, an F430.
