F1 Grand Prix of Italy, 2018: Raikkonen bossed the qualifying!

When Kimi Raikkonen left Vettel and Hamilton behind in putting his SF-70 H on pole at Monza, he claimed a bit of a history and a coveted one at that in the annals of Formula 1.

In setting fire to Monza, the home race of the Scuderia Ferrari, Raikkonen made history by driving the fastest ever lap in the sport, going as fast as 1:19:119. In so doing, he also broke the previous record held by Juan Pablo Montoya.

Later, on race day, Raikkonen and Hamilton engaged in a memorable duel that may long be remembered for times to come.

As Kimi went down fighting but not before defending brilliantly from a ferocious Hamilton for 45 full laps, he'd establish his presence in the minds of perhaps even his harshest critics who'd accused him of saying that the Finn was no longer fast in an F1 car.
