Once upon a time in a land far away we were told mythical tales of a man who travels around the world on a sleigh. As time passed Santa Clause became nothing more than an illusion of childhood…or is it? There may be proof that St. Nick is after all real and closer than you might think. In fact he seems to have a lot in common with a certain monosyllabic Finn.

Here are ten reasons why Kimi Raikkonen could be Santa Clause:

– Santa is apparently from Finland – Kimi is Finnish.

– Santa doesn’t mind a drink, especially not on Christmas Eve – I think it’s common knowledge that Kimi doesn’t mind a drink at anytime!

– You never see Kimi just before Christmas, the time when Santa is getting ready for Christmas.

– Kimi is one of the fastest drivers in the world, and we all know Santa has to be speedy getting round the whole world – surely a  poignant    factor.

– Kimi wears red, and so does Santa.

– But wait I hear you say that ‘Kimi is too toned to be Santa’. Well, as you don’t see him just before Christmas, it is possible he could ‘bulk  up’  but there’s also things known as ‘fat suits’…

– However, you never seem to see Kimi without his personal trainer for the rest of the year… it’s all a conspiracy!

– According to In Gear magazine, Santa has an interest in cars, as does Kimi.

– Children like Kimi as well as Santa.

– Finally, lots of people still believe in Santa, and lots of people believe in Kimi too.
