P14: Kimi Raikkonen, Alfa Romeo 6.86/10 (144 in total)
After being ousted from Ferrari at the end of 2018 and transferred to Alfa Romeo, the season started well for Kimi Raikkonen with four back-to-back points finishes and appropriately strong F1i ratings scores suggesting that the change might actually prove to be a good thing for the Finn after all. Things got tougher once F1 returned to Europe with three scoreless outings before he was back in form again with four more top ten successes in the next five events. But then there was nothing at all after the summer break until he lucked into fourth in a topsy-turvy Brazilian GP. Inevitably that up-and-down inconsistency over the year has hit his F1i rankings, which peaked with 8.0 for China, France, Germany, Hungary and Brazil but dropped as low as 5.0 in Canada where he was even out-qualified by his rookie team mate and never threatened the top ten in the race. Overall, the drop-off in performance over the course of the year will be a concern to all of the Iceman's legion of fans, inevitably sparking the question: is Kimi finally past his sell-by date?
