F1: Kimi Raikkonen's top 5 races with Lotus

#2 2012 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix- "Leave me alone"

Kimi's race at Abu Dhabi was stunning

Most racers have at least one moment that completely defines them and their persona. For Raikkonen, it would be the 2012's victorious run at the spectacularly-lit Yas Marina where he'd proclaim to his engineer's instructions "leave me alone, I know what am doing," at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

While Hamilton was on pole for the famous 2012 race, during the middle stages, his McLaren would suddenly set off and lead to retirement.

From that point on, Kimi, who'd begun from fourth but had made up a few places at the start, would inherit the race lead. This would be a track position that he would not give up and defend valiantly from not one but two ballsy cars: the Ferrari of Alonso and the Red Bull of Vettel.

Looking after his tyres throughout the race so as to continue his surge toward the checkered flag, and engaging in what could be called (but purely by die-hard Raikkonen fans), a 'masterclass in defensive driving', Raikkonen would defend from Alonso well enough to claim victory, thus bringing up a famous win for Lotus and for himself.
