When Adam mentions bringing money to Austin, he's right. The cash flow through formula one racing is tremendous. Kimi Raikkonen, Ferrari driver 2007-2009, was estimated by F1 Racing magazine to make 51 million dollars a year. While not all F1 drivers make quite this much, the pay remains quite good. Aside from the pay from their salary, well known drivers can also make quite a bit of money through advertising. The skill and finesse required to drive a formula one car at all make the job qualifications of racing for Ferrari hard to meet. Like many F1 drivers, "Iceman" started racing karts at the early age of ten. He quickly progressed and started racing F1 with relatively little experience. In 2009, after leaving formula one, Kimi began rally racing for Citroen. He entered the 2011 World Rally Championship racing for his new team ICE 1 racing. This season promises to be a good one.
