F1 Mid-Season Review: 5 best drivers at the halfway stage

#3 Kimi Raikkonen (Ferrari)

Kimi Raikkonen

Much has been said about the future of Kimi Raikkonen at Ferrari and indeed in F1, but the truth is that there is something very dependable about the Finnish driver, and he has certainly proved his worth to his team this season.

Even though his partner Sebastian Vettel is clearly the number one driver at the Italian giants, Raikkonen, in somewhat trademark fashion, has quietly gone about his job and done it quite brilliantly. He regularly finishes on the podium, and though he hasn't climbed the very top as much as he would have wanted, his astonishing lap times largely during practice and qualifying show that he is capable of taking his scarlet piece of machinery all the way. He perhaps just needs that little bit of luck that Bottas at Mercedes is craving so much too.
