It was the Kimi Raikkonen’s 18th victory, and his fourth at Spa, where he won in 2004, 2005 and 2007.

“Today is a great win for us,” said Raikkonen. “All drivers like it here, it’s so up and down to drive, it’s in the forest, and just everything that you like here. It’s a nice place to win.”

It was also suspenseful to the end as Fisichella matched Raikkonen’s speed throughout the race, and the Finn admitted that the Force India was the faster car. Raikkonen crossed the finish line only 0.9 seconds ahead of the Italian, and although it was the first time Force India has scored points, Fisichella did not hide his disappointment that he did not win.

“I was quicker than Kimi and he could overtake me just because of the KERS,” said Fisichella“I’m a bit sad for that because I was quicker than him and kept the pace and had the same strategy. It’s great but we could have won the race.”
