#2 Can we expect something strong from Kimi once again?

Reprimanded for his pit-antics at the final qualifying run at the 2018 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Raikkonen's position at Yas Marina has come under a bit of a scrutiny. That said, Raikkonen assisted teammate Sebastian Vettel to lock out the second row.

In so doing, it's a clear race on hands for now.

Once again, it's going to be Mercedes vs Ferrari at Abu Dhabi, a contest where last year, Ferrari didn't really have the pace when compared to the Silver Arrows.

Specifically for Kimi, who hasn't been on the Abu Dhabi podium since 2012, it seems highly unlikely given the superior form of the troika in front of him- Lewis, Bottas, Sebastian- that he'd be able to land on the podium. So what are we looking for, a P4 or a P5 Kimi?

Well, it's fair to leave you alone; you'll know what to do.
