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

#9 2012 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

A race that showed Kimi had lost none of his speed, guile and skill. Everything that was needed to do great things in F1

"Leave me alone I Know what I am doing", "Yes Yes I'm warming all the tyres you don't need to remind me every lap". Abu Dhabi was a race that made these team radio exchanges iconic. It had become a theme during Kimi's return that he'd convert an average qualifying position into a podium or a good result more often than not.

The car was one of the fastest in race trim but suffered in qualifying. In Abu Dhabi, Kimi benefited from Lewis Hamilton retiring from the lead and the Finn finding himself in the right place at the right time.

He drove a calm and composed race from that point even though the engineer on the radio was a bundle of nerves. He finished the race a clear victor ahead of Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel.
