F1: 5 talking points from the 2018 Brazilian Grand Prix

"Sebastian, Kimi is faster than you"

F1 Grand Prix of Brazil

For the most part of his 2018 season, Raikkonen has seen team orders being directed at him. He's been told to 'let Seb through' in a bid to help the German mount a challenge at Lewis Hamilton, as seen at the earlier events this year.

But at the Brazilian Grand Prix, Ferrari, a side that's so often tilted toward Sebastian Vettel delivered a stunner, when during the middle stages of the 71-lap contest, it asked Vettel to let Raikkonen through.

While Vettel, who failed to protect his decent second-place start from the attacking Red Bull of Max Verstappen, was finding it tough to catch Bottas, his teammate, Raikkonen was given the advantage to attempt the same, being quicker despite having not pitted.

Later, of course, Kimi was able to pass Bottas, on the main straights and the Iceman rewarded the faith of his team by capturing a well-fought P3.

So, thank you Seb! But, indeed, Kimi was the faster bloke all weekend, wasn't he?
