Is history repeating itself?
Before the start of the racing weekend in Sepang, Malaysia, Kimi Raikkonen wished to celebrate the anniversary of his first victory, which he achieved right here in 2003, in style. Raikkonen raced for the McLaren team in 2003. He started the race, which he later won before Rubens Barrichello in Ferrari and Fernando Alonso in Renault, from seventh place. Today, ten years later, he will stand exactly where he stood at the start of the race, as the Lotus racer ranked seventh in qualifying under variable conditions. For those more superstitious, it is worth mentioning the fact that Raikkonen also started the race for the Australian Grand Prix a week ago from seventh place and in the end won sovereignly.
