Here's an interesting fact for Kimi Raikkonen fans. On Sunday, the famous Finn, responsible for the fastest-ever lap in the history of the sport shall enter his seventeenth run at the famous racing venue, having first entered a contest back in 2001.

That told, it's not always that the oldest man on the grid also happens to be among the most consistent ones.

Should Kimi Raikkonen of Alfa Romeo manage to score again, it would mean that he would have scored in all five Grands Prix since the very first race in March, in Melbourne.

That said, the chances of the above do not seem too bright for 'The Iceman' who starts from fourteenth on the grid having endured a vapid qualifying run.

But one never knows what might happen during the course of the race. As seen in the events such as China, where Raikkonen beautifully battled the Haas cars, one may expect Kimi to pull out an ace or two somewhat.
