The only time that Kimi Raikkonen has ever won at Canada is the 2005 race, where the Iceman ruled with clinical precision in a McLaren.

But then, that was nearly over a decade and a half back in time. While surely there's no question of a win here in the 70-lap run in an Alfa Romeo, what can be expected from Kimi is to see the Finn return to the scoring ways.

As seen at the last two Grands Prix, Raikkonen, who has been responsible for scoring all of Alfa Romeo's 13 points in the season, failed to pick up a single point. This was disappointing. In fact, Monaco, the enigmatic driver's 300th Grand Prix, proved to be a no-show.

But can the most experienced man on the grid return to some point-scoring at the Villeneuve-land? Yes, sir! Purely, on experience and form, it cannot be doubted that Raikkonen wouldn't do all in his might to pull off some moves in emerging competitive in the contests involving the midfielders.

That said, his task would require something stellar during qualifying, not Kimi's biggest strength- right?
