Kimi Raikkonen's cult status is pinned on moments such as in Malaysia in 2009, when he was pictured eating an ice cream during a red flag period. The race itself had not been a good one for him, with Raikkonen attempting to pre-empt heavy rain - understandably judging by this picture - with an early switch to full wet tyres. It didn't arrive as early as expected, and once a torrential downpour caused the race to be stopped, Raikkonen was outside the points. Jenson Button was classified as the winner for Brawn, but only half points were awarded.
