This stands as Kimi's last Grand Prix Victory till date. Kimi exhibited composed driving along with some great tire management skills as he beat Lewis Hamilton (the eventual drivers Champion of 2018) in a straight battle between the two.

Lewis started on the pole while Kimi was in P2. It looked like it would stay that way till the end but Mercedes opted to change their strategy to a two stopper fearing the loss of tread by the end of the race.

In what would turn out to be one of the failings of the strategy group, Kimi was able to stick to his one stopper. Throughout the race, he maintained a steady pace that was enough for him to snatch the win.

Even though there was a minor threat during the end of the race from Max Verstappen, it never looked like Kimi was ever in any kind of trouble throughout the race. The race did ultimately justify Ferrari's decision of sticking with Kimi for so long despite him not performing at his expected level.
