KIMI's OPTIONS

Rally-Star? The career of a rally-star might suit Räikkönen well because he wouldn't have any shortage of sponsors when the man's visibility in media is taken into consideration.

Baron?
What else does a young man need than a jolly mind, a massive bank account and a gorilla-suit. Maybe Kimi should just take it easy and have fun with his friends.

If the 30-year old pensioner would get bored cruising around in a motor sledge and never-ending karaoke-nights and -mornings he could keep rally as a healthy-spirited hobby. On top of that Räikkönen opened up to an Italian paper telling he has considered starting a family. Well now he has time to become a home-daddy in his new luxurious home in Baar, Switzerland.

Go back to F1?
One possibility is that Räikkönen rests for one season and comes back to the f1-tracks in a new stitch. Räikkönen himself has declared that he will only jump into a winning car. The amount of these teams isn't that big so his comeback can't hardly be taken for granted.

Of course it can also be that Michael Schumacher's painful efforts to come back aren't exactly increasing Räikkönen's interests in making a comeback.

Model?
Mika Häkkinen has made a lot of money with his sponsor-deals after retiring so why couldn't Kimi also throw his gloves in the corner and start earning some easy money. Häkkinen earned a few years ago 1,5 million euros for being Johnny Walker's ambassador for responsible drinking which in all honesty doesn't quite sound like Kimi's 'thing'.

Manager?
Räikkönen has qualities that managers have to have: time, connections, money and know-how. Yet one can ask if he has the will for it - Räikkönen who doesn't have to do anything that doesn't interest him.

Commentator?
Maybe not in Kimi's case: He needs the fees from the tv-companies just as much as the viewers need his output.
