Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium (GenevaLunch) - Kimi Raikkönen drove his Ferrari to victory in the Belgian Grand Prix after a pile-up on the first lap knocked four cars out of the race, including last year’s champion Lewis Hamilton and this season’s leader, Jenson Button.
Giancarlo Fisichella, the Force India driver, started in pole position but did not have the power to resist an attack by Raikkönen. His second place was the first time Force India had scored points after 30 Grand Prix starts. Sebastian Vettel was third for Red Bull.
Jenson Button still leads the Championship for Brawn GP by 16 points from teammate Rubens Barrichello, who picked up just two points from finishing seventh.
