The Anchorman
Kimi Raikkonen's dominance in Spain has put him in a handy position for back-to-back titles. If he can make it through May, says Richard Barnes, he'll be high-on unstoppable
For most of his eight-year Formula One career, Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen has been called 'The Ice-man'. It's a knee-jerk moniker that could apply to any number of Finns for their generally phlegmatic approach to life. In Raikkonen's case, it is not entirely accurate, and was belied by his behind-the-scenes outbursts when fortunes turned against him at McLaren.
However, championships have a way of settling and changing drivers, usually for the better. In just four races since taking his maiden title at Brazil in October, Raikkonen has changed from the Ice-man to the Anchorman.
