Kimi Raikkonen said this week that Ferrari was a better place to work this season, with Maurizio Arrivabene also surprised at how regularly the Finn is smiling. While winning championships helps, the Ferrari atmosphere has been good in the past, too - as seen here in 1990 - but it doesn't always last, with Alain Prost (who turned 60 yesterday) criticising the car and leaving the team during the following year.
