F1: The 5 drivers who improved their form at the 2018 Japanese GP

#1 Kimi Raikkonen

F1 Grand Prix of Japan where Kimi finished ahead of Seb

At a track where the Iceman enjoys the track record, having clinched arguably his best-ever race win, back in 2005, the 2018 Japanese Grand Prix was a bit sedate by Kimi's usual fast standards.

Yet, he managed to bring his Ferrari home in fifth, thus collecting 10 vital points, that seem highly savoury at a time where nothing's going right for the team in their battle with the Silver Arrows.

In so doing, even as Raikkonen dropped down to a place, having secured fourth in qualifying, he maintained a consistency of run- so to speak- at Suzuka where previously he garnered a fifth in both 2016 and 2017 runs.
