The Team and Team Owners

Steve Robertson spent three years in British Formula Three (which included a 3rd place championship finish in 1990), he won the 1994 Indy Lights championship in the USA and captured 7 wins during his 2 years in the series. He is one of only two Indy Lights champions to never race in Champ Car. He later raced in the British Touring Car Championship, the BTCC, in a works Ford Mondeo. After racing, Robertson went on, along with his father Dave, to manage young drivers. After leading Jenson Button to Formula One, the pair took on young Finn Kimi Räikkönen. Räikkönen would later make a big jump, from Formula Renault to F1 with the Sauber team, the following year.

Kimi Matias Räikkönen is a Finnish Formula One racing car driver for the Scuderia Ferrari Formula 1 Team. He finished runner-up in the FIA Formula One World Drivers' Championship in 2003 and 2005. Previously he has driven for Sauber-Petronas (2001) and Team McLaren-Mercedes (2002-2006) and has signed a 3-year deal with Ferrari for the 2007 through 2009 seasons. Kimi's early career started in karting from the age of ten, including placing second in the 1999 European Formula Super A championship. He also competed that year in the Formula Ford Euro Cup, and by the age of twenty, he had won the British Formula Renault Winter series, winning the first four races of the year. In 2000, he won seven of ten events in the Formula Renault UK Championship. Peter Sauber gave the Finn a test with the Sauber Formula One team in September of 2000. After further tests in Jerez and Barcelona, Sauber signed Räikkönen for the 2001 season and Kimi scored a championship point in the 2001 Australian Grand Prix, his maiden Grand Prix. Räikkönen, long linked to Sauber's engine supplier Ferrari, sufficiently impressed McLaren Formula 1, earning a race seat in Ron Dennis's team for 2002, taking the seat left vacant by double-world champion (and fellow Finn) Häkkinen's retirement.

Kimi and Steve, in November 2004, formed a racing team for the British F3 International Series, which is called Räikkönen Robertson Racing. In only their second season (2006), "Double R" won the Championship Class.
