      He was referring to the setup of the tyres and the car. It was nowhere near what Kimi wanted.
      That's the point. Kimi was 100% right. They never got the setup right for him from 2007-2009.

      Simon Aldred That’s not as well obvious from TV transmissions but I’ve been at races between 2014-2018 in Hungary, Belgium, Italy, Germany, Austria and from what I saw at the tracks but also on the streets, no other driver even comes close to being loved and having fans like Kimi does, I knew it was and was still very surprised of what I saw.

      Remember also that it was in a souped-up version of the 2002 car, as McLaren's actual designed-for-2003 machine was so fragile and unreliable it never raced. Making Raikkonen's accomplishments that year even more extraordinary!

    I've never heard this quoted as a statistic, it's just as I remember it - Back in the days of single lap qualifying where if you won last time out you got to go last in qualifying when the track was at its best & if you dnf'd last time out then you had to go out first - Kimi is the only guy ever to have gone out on track first & set a time that put him on pole. He did this more than once. 'nuff said.
