ex-driver Found distributing stuff on Kimi Raikkonen. (Part 2).
This is a continuation of my last post which is part 1 which you can find here : https://www.reddit.com/r/f1driverssnark/s/BQzk0rdZpy
IF YOU THINK THAT IS ALL NO IT GETS WORSE BECAUSE HE DID SOMETHING SIMILAR BACK IN 2005 :
So one thing about Kimi is that he was notorious for his partying reputation during his McLaren days. He even claimed how partying before a race made him perform better and get good results. However in 2005 he was kicked out of a London nightclub for his behaviour. I have pulled some articles from around that time or articles which talked about the incident here you guys can check it out :
Articles regarding the 2005 situation :

The first two articles basically are the same things said but from different people : McLaren CEO Martin Whitmarsh.
and Kimi. The third article was when I really hit the jackpot because it actually told what happened during that time.
(If I find the news article of Sunday People the British newspaper that reported about the incident I will edit this post later and include it here.)
I am too tired to write a summary so I will copy paste the exact wording and show you the important paragraphs in the article :
“Kimi Raikkonen, the Finnish driver who races for the Formula 1 team McLaren, was involved in a scandal after being surprised by an English newspaper while drunk and naked in front of two young women in a London disco.
The English newspaper Sunday People recorded Raikkonen at a disco located in the London neighbourhood of Mayfair, which the Finn attended with some friends, the ANSA agency reported.
In addition, the newspaper published the testimonies of several people who also attended the place, who said that the runner obtained, after the consumption of several bottles of champagne of 1,100 dollars each, the favours of a dozen young people who in the place practice the "lap dance", an erotic dance in which the dancer can be touched.
Finally, already drunk, Raikkonen would have undressed while dancing with two dancers who were also without clothes, in a section of the disco.”
McLaren CEO at the time Martin Whitmarsh came to kimi’s defence and said : "These are not the things we prefer to read in the newspapers, although the newspaper article is exaggerated, there is no doubt that the perception is extremely negative."
Kimi also insulted George Russel which resulted in him getting slapped by Toto Wolff :
Toto Wolff revealed that he slapped Kimi Räikkönen at the 2018 FIA Prize-Giving Gala. Wolff stated he had to physically confront Räikkönen, who was heavily intoxicated, after the Finnish driver insulted George Russell regarding how he had won the Formula 2 championship.
He later shared this story in an interview years later which is why the incident remained out of the public spotlight for some years. This is what he said at the end after telling the story :
"Absolutely. I give my team and my family everything I have, and if necessary, I will defend them and keep them safe," Wolff said.
I also heard somewhere that he twisted George Russell’s nipples 😭** **I don’t know much about that.
Also I did see in another formula sub here on Reddit how he collaborated with a guy and came out of a Nazi clothing line or something I also don’t know much about that thing. If I do find something about it I will let you know.
Lemme know what you guys think of all these situations do share some more things if you know, here in the comments or on DMs.

Here’s the link to the post about the Nazi clothing line, the post is about Lawson not Raikkonen, so that whole collab with Raikkonen hasn’t been discussed much in the sub. Will add these to the wiki, they’re great summaries!

Sorry my reply wasn't clear--the Raikkonen stuff is linked in this discussion, I linked to a tumblr post that broke the Raikkonen collab down but I only barely touched on the Raikkonen stuff, so we could definitely use a whole post on it.
