In his comeback year to Formula One, Kimi Räikkönen ensured a finish in each of the twenty races that he participated in. He stood on the podium’s top step only once in Abu Dhabi but scored points in all Grands Prix except China, where he was running in second place before his tyres lost performance.

While Sebastian Vettel won his third driver’s title, the season concluded with the Finnish driver claiming third in the championship standings. Driving for Lotus, Kimi managed a stellar comeback, even ensuring a fourth place for his team in the constructor’s championship. This aided the Iceman’s decision to continue driving for Lotus in 2013.
