Top 10: Kimi Raikkonen's Best Moments in F1 as the Iceman enters his 300th Grand Prix

#3 2004 Belgian Grand Prix

Driving through the field Kimi was to beat many of his compatriots to notch a memorable win at Spa

Kimi had finished just 2 points behind the eventual champion Schumacher in 2003 and was looking forward to carrying that momentum into '04. As it turned out, McLaren messed up with its car and the Iceman scored just one in the first 7 races of the season which put him out of contention.

As the circus rolled on to the Spa in 2004, Kimi was well and truly out of the championship and what was left was just a salvaging act for the team. In a revamped McLaren, the Finn Started in a lowly 10th position and worked his way up the grid to win the race.

During the race, he overtook a whole bunch of cars ranging from his teammates Coulthard to Schumacher and ultimately setting the fastest lap of the race and winning.
