Kimi Raikkonen – 9/10
Kimi Raikkonen looked rather lacklustre in his Lotus E21 on Saturday when he could only qualify in 13th place. But in the race, with two inspired pit stops, he gained 10 places to take the final spot on the podium.
Raikkonen gained two places in first few laps but then got struck behind the McLaren of Sergio Perez. He then took an inspired decision to pit on lap 10 and put some quick laps in clean air. On lap 25, he was pitted under the Safety Car and managed his tyres beautifully for the next 38 lap to move from ninth (after his stop) to third by the end of the race.
