5 most memorable moments of Kimi Raikkonen at Ferrari

#3 2017 Monaco Grand Prix Pole

Kimi was fast all weekend at the F1 Grand Prix of Monaco 2017

Thanks to an awesome qualifying run on Saturday, a day prior to the race-day, Raikkonen put his Ferrari right on top at the fashionable principality of Monte Carlo.

Going really fast at 1:12:178, Raikkonen, coming into the sixth round of the 2017 Formula 1 season at the back of criticism that he wasn't as fast as his teammate, managed to silence some critics.

And truth be told, eight in ten fans might even tell you that he was destined for a win. Within seconds of the five red lights turning green, on race day, Raikkonen got off to a flier, chipping away from second-placed Sebastian Vettel.

And Kimi would continue to lead the Grand Prix holding track position up until lap 34 off 78, which is when he would be unexpectedly asked to box.

This meant that Vettel, who was behind Raikkonen, would gain the lead of the race all thanks to Raikkonen being asked to make what seemed an unscheduled pit stop.

In the end, Ferrari rather controversially ruined Kimi's race perceptibly in the bid to give Vettel a fighting chance against Hamilton, the eventual championship-winner.

But Raikkonen, going fast and maintaining the lead whilst defending from an attacking Seb until the mid-way stage proved that he was up for a fight and may surely have eloped with the win that even now seems elusive.
