#3 2017 Monaco Grand Prix Pole
On account of a magnificent qualifying run on Saturday, multi day preceding the race-day, Raikkonen put his Ferrari on top at the chic territory of Monte Carlo.
Going extremely quick at 1:12:178, Raikkonen, coming into the 6th round of the 2017 Formula 1 season at the back of feedback that he was not as quick as his partner, figured out how to quieten a few commentators.
Moreover, 8 out of 10 fans may even disclose to you that he was bound for a win. Close to the five red lights turning green, on race day, Raikkonen got off to a flier, wearing down from second-set Sebastian Vettel.

Kimi would keep on leading the Grand Prix holding track position up until lap 34 off 78, which is the point at which he would be surprisingly requested to box.
This implied that Vettel, who was behind Raikkonen, would pick up the lead of the race all on account of Raikkonen being requested to make what appeared an unscheduled pit stop.
At last, Ferrari rather dubiously demolished Kimi’s race distinguishably in the offer to give Vettel a battling chance against Hamilton, the possible title champ.
In any case, Raikkonen, going quick and keeping up the lead while safeguarding from an assaulting Seb until the point that the mid-way stage demonstrated that he was up for a battle and may most likely have stolen away with the win that even now appears to be slippery.
#2 2009 Brazilian Grand Prix
The 2009 season saw Raikkonen challenging in endlessly disappointing apparatus particularly when contrasted with his title winning auto of 2007.
Plainly, when contrasted with the McLarens and the Brawn GP, this was not the best that Ferrari had taken off for the season.
The Ferrari F60 was not as immaculate a machine as the ones Raikkonen had driven already, and it forced on Kimi the test to bear an obscure front-end that demonstrated somewhat of a soggy squib for the Finn.
However, he kept on continuing that year, going similarly as winning an epic challenge at the Spa-Francorchamps, when he thrusted in front of the crushing Force India of Giancarlo Fisichella and secured a noteworthy win.
Yet, aside from the majority of that, Raikkonen set up an overwhelming show at Interlagos that year, in a move that is up to this point less recollected while appreciating the legend of the ‘Iceman.’
Amid the mid-route phase of the testing challenge, Raikkonen, in the pits was tucked directly behind the McLaren Mercedes of Heikki Kovalainen.
In any case, Raikkonen’s fellow Finn’s auto, because of being given a dangerous discharge, with the fuel hose still appended to Heikki’s auto. By virtue of this episode, inside seconds, the Ferrari of Kimi Raikkonen was drenched in fuel that later prompted a flare-up of flame that straightforwardly represented a danger at Kimi himself.
In any case, rather than race-resigning, Kimi proceeded notwithstanding the pit disaster and proceeded to assemble a battling P6, demonstrating exactly why it is adept to praise him as the ‘Iceman’- a man who keeps his cool amid serious moments.
