Kimi Raikkonen - 4th place, 12 points - 7.5/10

The standard Kimi Raikkonen race this season: Solid and about the car’s potential, but nothing more. To be fair to him, Raikkonen had a clean race and was simply caught out by Verstappen’s quick reactions to lose a spot at the end of the first VSC. Soon passed Perez and ran fourth for most of the race before Rosberg barged his way through at Turn 2, with Raikkonen having already been unhappy at not being able to use full power while managing a battery problem. For a while pegged Rosberg’s advantage at less than 10 seconds to stay in the podium hunt but the Ferrari just isn’t quick enough to match the Mercedes on equal tyres.
