Italian GP 2018: 3 learnings from Kimi's epic pole-lap at Monza 

#2 Raikkonen, not Finnish'ed' yet

F1 will never be the same without Kimi, would it?

Over the course of the past several seasons, there have been a lot of accusations, some constructively-backed with facts and assessments over Raikkonen's Ferrari form with there being a congruence that Raikkonen's probably past his best and that he does not seem to have in him anymore to fight for top finishes.

And while there cannot be a logical conclusion in that regard, what we do know is that with 8 podiums bagged already this year, taking his overall tally to 99, Raikkonen is doing more than just fighting to live another day; probably, he's silently gnawing at critics and a divisive league of globetrotting fans, some of whom regard he's over while the rest persist with the notion that Raikkonen's still the fastest on the grid.
