Has he delivered on the promise he once had? Not fully, no. But he was world champion, and that is given to very few.
Not only that but Kimi will be remembered as the most recent Ferrari driver to win a coveted WDC driving for Marinello. Joining a short list of names to have achieved this honour..... names such as Ascari, Fangio, Hawthorn, Phil Hill, Surtees, Lauda, Scheckter, Schumacher. And Raikkonen.
