In the year 2002， McLaren and Ferrari both wanted Rikknen's services， but Kimi was swayed by the fact that if he drove for Ferrari he'd be a No.2 driver to Schumacher while at McLaren he would be allowed to win. After thinking for a long time， he finally decided to join McLaren.

2002年，麥克拉倫和法拉利都想要得到萊科寧，但是吉米有些猶豫，因為如果加盟法拉利他就是那個車隊的第二車手，排在舒馬赫之后，但是如果加盟麥克拉倫，車隊將要求他必須贏得比賽。經過很長一段時間的思考，他決定加盟麥克拉倫車隊。

His 2002 season seemed electric. But an underpowered McLaren on less than perfect Michelins meant he was rarely able to challenge for the lead.

他的2002賽季看起來動力十足，但是麥克拉倫在使用米奇林輪胎上的缺陷使得他只能爭取比賽的領先地位。

Although he didn't outscore his team-mate Coulthard， he regularly outqualified him. It was only due to the team's very 'un-McLaren-like' poor reliability that he didn't finish any higher than sixth place overall with 24 points.

雖然他在那個賽季得分還沒有他的隊友庫特哈德高，但是他的表現還算合格。一切都是因為麥克拉倫技術上的不足，使得他在這個賽季只能以24分的成績排在積分榜的第六位。

With McLaren beginning the 2003 season in dominant fashion， Raikkonen took the chequered flag at the Malaysian GP， the second race of the campaign.

在2003賽季，麥克拉倫開啟了他們的統治時代。萊科寧在這個賽季第二站的馬來西亞大獎賽中第一個沖過了終點線。

A string of podium finishes followed and on the halfway stage of the campaign Raikkonen was leading the Drivers' standings. However， the McLaren was falling behind both the Williams and Ferrari at this stage and it was only Raikkonen's tenacity and ability to steadily accumulate points which kept him in the hunt.

一系列的榮譽隨之而來，在賽季的前半段，萊科寧排在了車手排行榜的第一位。盡管如此，麥克拉倫車隊還是排在了威廉姆斯車隊和法拉利車隊的后面，只有萊科寧以他的堅韌和他的能力穩穩地排在了積分榜的前列。

2005 was a bitter-sweet season for Kimi ， during which he experienced the highest highs and the lowest lows. While the Finn had the fastest car on the grid， it was unfortunately powered by a temperamental Mercedes engine.

2005賽季是一個甜蜜和苦澀交織的賽季，這個賽季，吉米經歷了他的歷史新高和歷史新低。雖然芬蘭人擁有了場上跑得最快的車，但是不幸的是他的引擎不爭氣。

Despite seven grands prix wins and an additional five podium finishes， he eventually had to settle for second place behind Fernando Alonso in the Drivers' battle.

雖然他在這個賽季有7次分站賽冠軍和5次中途退賽的表現，最終還是在車手的競爭中輸給了菲爾南多·阿隆索。

Remaining with McLaren-Mercedes in 2006， the team had one more season to hand the World title to Kimi. They couldn't. In fact， they couldn't even hand him one single race win.

他在2006年依然留在了麥克拉倫車隊，這個車隊有了一個新的機會把萊科寧帶到世界的頂峰，但是他們沒有。事實上，他們都沒有讓萊科寧贏得一場比賽的能力。

Despite claiming two pole positions and three fastest race lap times， the Finn struggled to get on the podium， claiming just six top-three finishers， none of which was a P1. He finished the year fifth in the Drivers' Championship， quite a drop from the runner-up spot he claimed the previous year.

雖然有兩個桿位和3次最快單圈速度的表現，芬蘭人依然與退賽作著斗爭，這個賽季，他只有6次登上了領獎臺，沒有一次是冠軍。在車手排名中，他最終排在了第五位，離他在賽季初制定的目標相距甚遠。

2007， though， promises better things for Kimi as， after five years， he's finally doing what many have speculated he would eventually do — he's off to Ferrari to replace Michael Schumacher at the Scuderia.

2007年，法拉利車隊承諾了給萊科寧更高的待遇，所以，在5年的麥克拉倫生涯后，他最終加盟了法拉利車隊，取代了麥克爾·舒馬赫的地位。

And given Ferrari's recent upturn in performance， they may just be able to help Kimi to that elusive first world title!

因為法拉利車隊在這個賽季的表現有所好轉，他們應該有能力幫助萊科寧奪得他夢寐以求的世界冠軍！
