"What exactly were you talking about? Minato never threw a kunai faster than the raikage, in the manga, the only thing I saw was Minato throwing it casually and teleporting with FTG, where was the throwing speed?"

Chapter 542, page 14. First panel, Minato has the kunai. Then you see A make contact with the tip of Minato's nose with his fist. Then you see Minato teleport and no kunai in hand. In fact, after that panel, you see the kunai that was in his hand, flying passed A's head. Which means, before A could push his fist forward an inch or two, Minato was able to easily toss a kunai passed him. This shows Minato's movement was faster since he could move further than an inch to toss a kunai, but A couldn't move further than an inch at all.

Then you got the Kunai's speed itself. It moved even faster than the Raikage. Which means Minato is also very strong. A looked right at the Kunai, and couldn't even grab it or turn around to face it.

With all these factors, with base speed, Minato can move faster than him. And with thrown objects such as his kunai, he will always be able to outsmoke the Raikage even greater with teleportation + throwing. He doesn't even need to move his feet to outspeed his opponent and that makes him deadly. All he has to do is throw a kunai that moves faster than a full speed 4th Raikage to win. But if you combine that, with his base speed, with Shunshin, and with Sage Mode, how does A even stand a chance?

"And about Minato coming first in the war, why shouldn't he use FTG? He wanted to reach the battle field, and that was important for him." Uhh. How would he? It's not like his kunai magically appear where he wants them to. He has to put them there. Besides, it was stated to be Shunshin, which is Body Flicker.
