Championship defendant Kimi Raikkonen lost all his chance of being champion again this year when he finished his race in the wall today, in Belgium. Worst part? Raikkonen was leading (again) with two laps to go!
The incident involving him and Lewis Hamilton - the winner of this race - that resulted ultimatly by Raikkonen's retirement, is currently under inverstigation by the stewarts.
Hamilton could be penalised and so the results of this race are yet to be confirmed.
All we know for sure is that Hamilton crossed the start/fnish lane in front of Ferrari driver Felipe Massa and BMW-Sauber Nick Heidfeld this afternoon, in Spa-Francorchamps.
The German must be very happy because this podium should help him convice his boss that he can still do the job, this year and hopefully next year too!
