Kimi Raikkonen celebrates his 4th win at Spa

Though Kimi has been showcasing his dominance every time he races at Belgian Grand Prix, it dates back 9 years to see the King of Spa's last win the Spa-Francorchamps. The 4th win for the Finnish racer at Spa came during the 2009 Belgian Grand Prix with the F-60, which happens to be the only win with it that season.

Having qualified for a 6th place start in the race, it was sheer talent and complete support from KERS that made it possible for the Finnish to hunt down the lead and maintain it till the chequered flag. The starting lap gave him a boost to 3-places push up the order. Then got better of Fisichella at lap 5 during the Safety car period by showing his supreme skills at the Eau Rouge corner and passed him on the way into Les Combes. From there on Kimi was flawless in defending the lead to the Force Indian driver who would later become his team-mate for five Grands Prix as from the next race.
