Kimi Räikkönen
Age 40
Debut Australia
2001
Starts 312
Wins 21
Podiums 82
Titles 1

Now the oldest driver on the grid, Kimi
Räikkönen is into the second year of
his two-year deal with Alfa Romeo. The
evergreen fan favourite is setto break
a record in 2020 as the driver with the
most grand prix starts. Currently, Rubens
Barrichello holds the record with 322,
while Raikkonen is on 312. If he competes
in every race he’ll break the record at
the 2020 British Grand Prix. But don’t
forget to leave him alone – he knows
what he’s doing...

GP RACING VERDICT
With hisexperience and a reliable
and decent car beneath him,expect
Kimi to bring home another decent
haul of points.

Antonio Giovinazzi
Age 26
Debut Australia
2017
Starts 23
Best result 5th
Podiums 0
Best season 17th (2019)

In qualifying, up against Kimi Räikkönen,
Giovinazzi’s raw speed hasgenerally been
impressive and on occasion he’s beaten
the 2007 world champion. But then he
has atendencyto make small but often
significant mistakes during races – his
shunt in the closing laps of last year’s
Belgian Grand Prix while under no pressure
at all was particularly harmfulto his stock
within theteam. Being an Italian driver
in Formula 1 brings its own weight and
Giovinazzi would be wiseto not let the
hype interfere with his driving.

GP RACING VERDICT
His mainfocus must beto keep closeto
Räikkönen and then aimto beat him –
while upping his gameby cutting out
the silly mistakes.
