Fans of Kimi Raikkonen have not had much to celebrate over the past 18 months. Up until the recent Bahrain Grand Prix, Raikkonen had started 24 races without tasting champagne on a Formula 1 podium at the end of them.
His previous rostrum finish came at the 2013 Korean GP for Lotus, before he skipped the final few rounds to have back surgery amid financial wrangles at Enstone (and re-signing for Ferrari).
It looked a shrewd move for Raikkonen to follow technical whizz James Allison to Maranello, but 2014 was a disaster.
