Ride Me!
If You Love Money, You'll Love This Car

Posted May 7th 2009 1:30AM by TMZ Staff

We didn't really know what a Kimi Räikkönen is -- or how the hell to pronounce that last name -- but apparently he's a Formula One driver we happened to shoot in London yesterday ... and he's loaded beyond belief!!!

Kimi Raikkonen: Click to watch
The speed racer raked in $44 million last year and is the 4th highest paid sportsman on the planet -- but the exuberance doesn't stop there.

Also worth millions: That sweet, white, old school Ferrari California parked in front of Kimi's sweet, metallic, new school Ferrari.

4. ugly car? It's a Ferrari California Spyder, it's worth millions and one of the best looking cars ever made. They used a replica one in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

You pronounce his name Kimmy Rye-Co-nin.

7. The car he got into is a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti (try to pronounce that name TMZ). I don't think it's his though, notice he didn't get in on the drivers side for Euro cars.

11. I can´t believe you don´t know Kimi! Really people! get a little bit outside your own ass and learn somethings from the other side of the world that is not USA, carefull, your head would explode!

12. ^^hey foreign assholes F1 tv coverage sucks over here. You have to special order SPEED channel and a lot of the races are at 3-6am. Thank Bernie for making race time super convenient for Europe. I have to download them from racing underground most of the time. You can also thank Bernie for taking away the CanadianGP & USGP, thus making America's F1 ignorance even worse.

13. Kimi is absolutely the most BORING interview in motor sports. Not since Eddie Cheever has a driver been so boring to listen to. Kimi speak in monotone. Thanfully, Kimi hasn't been on the podium too much this year, thus not interviewed in the press room after the race.

14. Kimi is paid to drive not to talk and he does that good when he's given a good car.

15. Kimi is bad ass, and the Ferrari is amazing.
