Kimi Räikkönen is selling a villa on Lake Como.

      Kimi Räikkönen owned the luxury villa Il Torchio in Italy’s Lombardy near Lake Como only briefly — for some reason his preferences changed, and the 2007 world champion has already decided to sell the mansion.

      The former racing driver's family bought the villa just a couple of years ago, and at the time local press reported that the house required extensive renovations that could take at least a year to a year and a half. However, it is now up for sale.

      “In fact the real renovation hasn’t even begun,” tabloid Ilta-Sanomat quotes Sami Visu, who for many years served as Kimi’s manager and press secretary and still represents his interests. “But the family lives in Italy, and everything connected with Switzerland is a thing of the past.”

      According to Seiska magazine, another Finnish publication, Kimi’s family — that is, he with his wife and three children — is currently renting a villa on the shore of Lake Garda, Italy’s largest lake located between Milan and Venice. Italy was chosen because karting is very well developed there, and 10‑year‑old Robin, Kimi and Minttu’s eldest son, is seriously involved in the sport.

      The sale of the villa has been entrusted to one of Milan’s real estate agencies; however the price for the house — which has five bedrooms, five bathrooms and grounds of almost 15 hectares — is not listed on the agency’s website and is provided only on request. Incidentally, the fact that the villa belongs to Kimi Räikkönen is not mentioned either.
