Sure but many times it has also been Kimi dragging the car over the finishline even if it wouldn't ave supposed to. So it's thanks to both of them

I'd say if Kimi can get 10 more point scoring finishes, he will 'equal' Schumi's record considering 10 drivers get points nowadays.

With two 8th, two 9th and two 10th place. Just wow. That really hurts Schumacher's reputation who has that record with no worse than 4th place.
Well, competition was different at those days anyways, the grid is way closer nowadays.

come on, it's just some numbers...it doesn't hurt anything. looking back 20 years from now I doubt this record will mean much in a schumacher vs raikkonen legacyWith two 8th, two 9th and two 10th place. Just wow. That really hurts Schumacher's reputation who has that record with no worse than 4th place.

2 faultless DNFs and 39 straight finishes in the top4.
With the best and most reliable car out there in a grid where 1 or 2 other teams could challenge him even if he ran into trouble.
Not comparable.
Obviously Räikkönen has also been fortunate to not have race ending car problems, but he has done a very consistent job.

but still, top 10 is inside the points, when in the past it was 8, and 6...
also cars are rarely failing like the use to... still, Kimi has been pretty safe and consistent with his driving since his return, that's for sure.

It shows fantastic determination and consistency from Kimi, and great reliability from Lotus and it'll be interesting to see just how many consecutive points scoring places he can go on to achieve, I get the feeling it will go on for a while yet.
Ultimately though even though i guess it does mean something to Kimi, judging by the maniacal last laps dash in Monaco, when asked on Sky just whether getting that record is any consolation for losing valuable points today the answer was typically short and sweet.
"No"

It's amazing achievement from Lotus/Kimi. Back in McLaren/Ferrari days nobody could have ever imaginated that Kimi would be able to do this record with the myth about him being the car breaker and very unlucky driver...but now this proofs those claims wrong, congratulations Lotus and Kimi for making incredible record and go make it much longer!
What also adds to the significance of course is that this was achieved following a 2 year break from the sport, ad whilst i've absolutely no wish to discuss Kimis Ferrari years the oft repeated mantra when he began that break was "Unmotivated", I think this points streak shows that at least that particular mantra shouldn't be chanted any longer, if it ever did apply, it's certainly not applicable now, its a great run, long may it continue

He said himself in an interview that it basically doesn't matter, and I agree. Not because of the fact you can get points down to 10th, but because it's no good finishing 10th in every race and creating a record if you don't achieve anything at the end of it. He may have broken the record, but he hasn't actually achieved anything. I'm 100% certain he'd VERY happily dump the record for more race wins and the title. The record will be nothing more than 'meh' to him, at best. In reality, it makes diddly squat (to put it politely).
Yeah, he's only 3rd in the WDC for second year in a row with almost 4x as many points as his teammate
