Raikkonen has the chance to get his hundredth podium at Ferrari's home race
How on earth did Ferrari manage the time and the skill to compromise yet another race for Raikkonen, as seen at the Spa-Francorchamps pit-disaster that later led to Kimi's retirement, could be used as a case study, arguably stating that how mega brands spoil opportunities to win.
Regardless, shifting the attention back to Monza, where Kimi Raikkonen of Ferrari doesn't quite have a sterling record, there looms the possibility for the 'Iceman' to collect his hundredth podium, a remarkable achievement for any racing driver.
But for that to happen, Kimi would not only have to up his game in qualifying, an aspect of his driving that he's significantly improved starting the season-opener at Melbourne but will also require the assistance of his crew to help him out in the crucial stoppages.
Moreover, Raikkonen, not a man of few words would definitely factor in a statistic that doesn't quite do justice to his overall potential. At Monza, the last that Kimi stood on the podium was courtesy that fighting P3 in 2009, when he drove for Ferrari but in an era where the legendary V8s existed.
His form at Italy under the turbo-powered era hasn't been that sparkling, to be honest. So, can the Iceman salvage a fight worth remembering?
