Kimi Räikkönen is not a driver who can ever be overlooked. Even with a midfield team, he has been putting in commendable performances and pushing his car to the limits unfailingly.

The Iceman has been among the points in eight races this year, and one only has to look at the other side of the Alfa Romeo garage to understand exactly how impressive this feat is. The Monza circuit should ideally suit the Alfa. Add to that the experience and talent that the Finnish driver brings to the table and it can become the perfect concoction for another strong finish.

Moreover, the crowd in Monza would be eager to cheer for one of their favourite drivers, seeing as how Kimi is still the last driver champion for Ferrari. The best thing for him to do would be to put his car as high up on the grid as possible and hope for the rain to come and improve his chances.
