He might not be in the best of positions in this year’s Formula 1 World Championship, but when its all about going around the track the fastest, no one beats Kimi, the flying finn has been in flying form when its about fastest laps. Raikkonen has already got 10 fastest laps this year, even with three races remaining, and no other driver has even more than 2 fastest laps, its pretty clear who’s the fastest on track, and the biggest surprise is that Lewis Hamilton, who is leading the World Championship doesnt even have a single fastest lap this season! Last season too Kimi had the most number of wins and shared the highest number of fastest laps with Felipe Massa. And not only that, Kimi is already upto third in the all time fastest laps list.
Top ten drivers in Formula 1 with fastest laps
1. Michael Schumacher    76
2. Alain Prost    41
3. Kimi Räikkönen    35
4. Nigel Mansell    30

6. Mika Häkkinen    25

Sigh! What use is the pace when the title is out of his grasp.
May he retain his pace and get Alonso’s belligerence & Hamilton’s wet-weather skills for next year 😛
Yeah its of no use, but it clearly shows that Kimi is faster than Hamilton, its just that lady luck preferred to be with Hamilton more than with Kimi. May Kimi’s luck change for the better.
