Winners and Losers of the F1 2018 season

#5 Kimi Raikkonen

It was a consistent year for Kimi without too many issues

It sounds a bit weird to put a driver who was soundly beaten by his teammate, is losing his seat from a top team and moving to a midfield team to be named as a winner.

But in so many ways Raikkonen this season was able to put together a strong season which was much better than what he had done in the last few years.

This season Raikkonen made fewer mistakes, was at it all the time, was consistent and sometimes even put Vettel in the shadow.

His selection in Sauber could even be attributed to an upturn in Raikkonen's form.

He's proven himself to be a stable, consistent performer this season, although he lacks those last few tenths that made him a beast behind the wheel but he can still put the car where it belongs and will be an asset to Sauber next year.
