Ferrari was not the class of the field in 2009 by any means. It was a season dominated by Brawn GP and the emergence of Red Bull during that season. Spa on the other hand completely threw the form book out and shuffled everything.

We had a Force India on the pole out of nowhere and being competitive. Kimi didn't qualify on the front row even. He used the KERS on his car to great effect as he was able to jump a few spots at the start.

During the Safety car restart, he was able to get the jump on Fisichella of the Force India. Although soon after it became evident that the Force India was more or less a match for the Ferrari, Kimi displayed amazing acumen as a driver and drove defensively throughout the race using the KERS at the right points on the track to keep Fisichella Behind.

This would turn out to be his last win with the Scuderia Ferrari before he came back to Formula One.
