A SEASON PLAGUED WITH BAD LUCK? Heikki Kovalainen's 2008 Season

While a McLaren driver won the drivers' championship (Just!) in 2008, the other driver was nowhere. And we remember it being that Hamilton was just so good and Heikki was just terrible, much like how Perez has been this year in an uncompetitive car.

But issues with hydraulics, electrics, pneumatics, being biffed off the road and other things meant that Heikki was confined to just THREE podium finishes, one of those being a win at Hungary, while Hamilton won the championship.

So was Heikki as bad as we all thought or was there more to it than that? I have a look, and as always, I invite you to have a discussion about it down in the comments.

Enjoy! And remember to like and subscribe for more!
