    Kimi Raikkonen braved snow, ice and freezing conditions over the weekend to finish a competitive 13th overall on his rallying debut.

    The punishing Arctic Lapland Rally takes place over three days in the north of Finland and is a mainstay of the national rallying calendar, attracting some of the country’s leading drivers.

    However, Raikkonen’s most famous competitor was fellow world champion Mika Hakkinen, with the current Ferrari driver beating his Finnish countryman by more than 7m30s.

    Raikkonen took to the snowy stages in a Fiat Grande Punto S2000 and, with the help of co-driver Kaj Lindstrom, finished just 6m34s off the winner.

    Meanwhile Hakkinen, in his fourth appearance at the Arctic Rally, was behind the wheel of a Mitsubushi Lancer Evo 9 and finished the event 19th overall
