F1: The King of Spa, Best of Kimi Raikkonen in the Belgian Grand Prix

#4 Hat trick, 2007 Belgian GP

Kimi Raikkonen celebrates his hat-trick wins at Spa

More than Kimi there wouldn't have been anyone more upset when the Spa was dropped from the Formula One calendar in 2006. The organizer of the event went bankrupt in late 2005, so the planned improvements to the paddock and the race track was in halt. Before the Wallonia government stepped in and provided the necessary funds it was too late for the 2006 race to take place.

When Ferrari's took the front-line up having dominated the practice sessions and qualifying rounds, it was evident that all these years, McLaren wasn't the one that was dominating but it was the Finnish with McLaren back then. The order during the chequered flag was pretty much the same till eighth position compared to the start of the race, except for Heidfeld and Rosberg who swapped their positions. At 16th lap, Massa took the lead for a brief time until Raikkonen retook it back in the following lap after pit, to complete his hattrick at his favorite Spa.
