Kimi Raikkonen remains as popular as ever among fans in Formula One, and Budapest allowed a number of Finns the chance to come and support him. This weekend one fan created a massive Ferrari ice cream in tribute to Raikkonen's incident in Malaysia in 2009 when he was seen eating an ice cream out of his race suit during a red flag period for heavy rain. Kimi didn't disappoint them on Sunday, earning the Driver of the Day award for this recovery from 14th on the grid to sixth place.
