5 talking points from the Singapore Grand Prix

#3 The battle between the Finns

F1 Grand Prix of Singapore

Valtteri Bottas hasn't really had too many talking points this season but his dogged defence of the fourth position, his eventual standing at Singapore, ahead of Raikkonen proved just why he's so highly rated.

For someone who's endured the torridness of being called 'Lewis' wingman' all along this season, Bottas thoroughly deserved his fourth-position, a position he defended brilliantly in front of an attacking Raikkonen, especially from the onset of Lap 45.

At one stage, during the chicane, Raikkonen nearly came wheel-to-wheel with Bottas, who held on to his place on the grid and carried on brilliantly.

On the other hand, Raikkonen had to contend with a modest P5, not what the record-breaking 'Kimster' as seen at Monza would've expected. Still, Raikkonen has found a way to stick to fifth on the driver's standings, so far.
