How F1's new Raikkonen has finally arrived
Formula 1 has another no-nonsense driver starting to really find his feet, after a rollercoaster ride of a career so far

Many will already be picturing the 'iceman' in his sunglasses and red cap, who has enjoyed a run of three consecutive podium finishes unprecedented in his second Ferrari career. But this is not about Kimi Raikkonen, it's about a driver who hails from the other end of the Baltic sea and is doing a very good impression of the Flying Finn at his best.
