Perfect analysis ๐๐ป
kimi because of the shock factor
no one rlly saw this level of kimi performance coming
I mean... he's in the fastest car and in both races he won, his teammate was unlucky, plus his race starts have been abysmal
Not discrediting him or whatever but it's not quite as impressive when you think about it for more than 5 seconds
