#2 Kimi Räikkönen (12)
Kimi Räikkönen may be making a move back to Sauber F1 team, but the swap between him and Charles Leclerc is not on the back of having a bad season. The ‘Iceman’ has 12 podiums to his name for the duration of the 2018 Formula One season.
The Finn finished behind the two major title rivals, Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel, in the driver’s standings, much to his chagrin as he had not wanted to attend the FIA end of the year gala.
The 39-year-old scored a single victory in the United States during the year. The win came after a 113 race draught as his last victory was back in 2013. He also showed thundering pace in Monza when he recorded the fastest Formula One lap ever during his qualifying stint. Alas, he couldn’t convert pole into victory because of tire degradation.
