Amid all the Lewis Hamilton clamour, it's easy to forget that McLaren had two race drivers this year. Heikki Kovalainen's season has been a disappointment, to him especially. He could have had a much stronger end to the year, and the perception would then have been different. Had his engine not let him down in Japan, he could well have won, and had he been free to drive his own race in Brazil rather than protecting Hamilton's position, he certainly could have figured much more prominently there. Had his front tyres not been mounted the wrong way round in China, he'd have looked much better there too. But that still doesn't get around explaining his indifferent form for much of the rest of the year. Looking at it in more detail, his first and second half-seasons were disappointing in quite different ways. © 2021 Autosport
