SEASON WRAP
Once again Ferrari managed to let the Championship get away from them this season after an extremely close battle with Mercedes in the first half. Despite Vettel’s convincing 5-0 H2H victory Raikkonen acquitted himself well in his final season with the Scuderia. Of particular note is the 8-8 dead heat for race results between the two Ferrari drivers. While Kimi was edged out by his younger teammate in qualifying on all but 4 occasions in 2018 his race performance was consistently strong.
As perennial crowd favourite few would deny the emotion of seeing the Kimster finally win a race for Ferrari in the US GP – “F@#king finally” was another classic sound bite from the IceMan. Even with the win Raikkonen was soundly beaten by his 4x Champion teammate. We can’t wait to see how Charles Leclerc takes it to Seb in 2019 and what their final H2H result might look like this time next year.
