#2 Kimi Raikkonen, 2007
Despite starting off the season with a win followed by two more podium finishes in first three races, Raikkonen was 20 points behind Lewis Hamilton. Hamilton was a rookie back then, driving in his first F1 season, replacing Juan Pablo Montoya for McLaren, while it was Raikkonen's debut season with Ferrari, replacing the legendary Michael Schumacher.
The Finn's consistency increased furthermore, with three more wins and three more podium finishes. Still, it wasn't enough to surpass Hamilton's unbelievable accumulation of points, who was 17 points in the lead with 2 rounds left. Raikkonen made the impossible title triumph possible by winning both the races in China and Brazil, aided by Hamilton's woes. Hamilton could manage only 2 points in those last two races.
