Top 10: Kimi Raikkonen's Best Moments in F1 as the Iceman enters his 300th Grand Prix

#6 2007 Australian Grand Prix

Kimi came to Ferrari and made an immediate impact by winning his very first and only race

After consistently suffering from reliability issues and inconsistent cars during his stint at McLaren, Kimi finally made a move to Ferrari as Michael Schumacher announced his retirement from the sport. Kimi was considered by many as one of the top drivers on the grid and he dispelled any doubts that were there around him on his very first weekend with Ferrari.

After putting the car on pole in a commanding way, Kimi simply drove off and left the McLaren's Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton in his wake without either of them having any answers for Kimi's pace.

In his first race, Kimi took both the pole and the race victory to start a partnership that would ultimately result in him winning his first and only championship to date.
