When Kimi Raikkonen almost made an F1 Team broke

Kimi Raikkonen is one of the most popular drivers to ever race in F1. Winning a world championship, and proving at multiple teams why he was one of the very best on the grid. Kimi Raikkonen's F1 return in 2012 was welcomed by F1 fans, and his new challenge at Lotus was under way. With this, Kimi had an added bonus in his contract, earning €50,000 for every point he scored. Kimi managed to score 390 points, meaning Lotus were left with a bonus bill of €19,500,000 owed to Kimi Raikkonen. This is how Lotus F1 Team fell into financial disarray, and were even featured on a UK debt collector TV show. Enjoy!
