What a finish!! Kimi is finished. But what a freaking awesome finish to the race!

To all those who missed it, just download it and watch it. Fast forward to the last 3 laps and watch it. Crazy stuff!! Oh man!!
 
^^ watch the 1st 3 and teh last 3

the kimi of old is back :P (old = the time when he used to crash mclarens :D )
 
ROFL screw Kimi, that looser, just show he doesn't have as good car control as Hamilton does.
 
kimi was under pressure to win so he took a bit more risks than he should have. going off the racing lines and using the kerbs in the rain is a no no.
 
oh man, kimi must be hitting his head on the wall somewhere in the pit lane. but cant actually blame em totally.

Even Hamilton spun 2 times, once right in front of the kimi and kimi had to avoid him and some other car in those conditions. S#!t happens, but this was disaster. Ferrari should now firmly concentrate on Massa as No1 driver and ask kimi to support him in races to come.

Horrid but exciting end to the race.
 
whatta race....!!!!!
thnx rain gods!! :bleh:
to bad kimi cudnt make it... but im glad to see ol kimi back.. :clap:
 
Seemed like he had a puncture before he spun. His left rear tyre was deflated. Poor chap... it was sheer bad luck. I guess its Hamster's year this time.
 
Its only bad luck, I guess...Kimi did nothing wrong. Infact, he did a superb race considering the amount of pressure he was under. That overtaking maneuver by Hamilton was very very clever. Not only did he force Kimi to slow down but himself "didn't really" back off after cutting the track. That way he had more speed and was easily able to snatch the lead down the straight. Kimi tried to take it back but a series of unfortunate incidents led to his retirement from the race. It could easily have been Lewis in place of Kimi today.

It was good to see Kimi racing the way he did today. Lately, it seemed like Kimi had lost all motivation to race and was only driving around in circles. Some will say Lewis was exceptional today. No doubt about it but you've to realize its easier to chase than being chased. Kimi had no idea about the grip level on a wet track and he was trying to be as cautious. Lewis was only following Kimi and it allowed him to close in and have a go.

One more thing...its not over till its actually over. Last year, Kimi overcame a 17 point deficit in the last two races. This time there are still 5 races to go and 50 points at stake, Kimi is only 23 points behind. Anything can happen. :D

Lewis Hamilton's victory at the Belgian Grand Prix has been thrown into doubt, with news not only that stewards are probing an incident, but also that Ferrari has lodged an official protest.

Shortly after the championship leader took the chequered flag at the end of a frenetic finish to the 44-lap race at Spa Francorchamps, it emerged that FIA officials would investigate his earlier battle with Kimi Raikkonen.
While the stewards are probing the Bus Stop chicane and La Source incident, it is believed Ferrari have also taken exception to a separate element of Hamilton's racing tactics.

personally i think there was some hard racing from both of them and they should just let things stand as they are now
 
Damn u Raikonnen... kaslsdjfskdfhsdkfhsdkfdsf#@$@#!@$@#$@#$@#%$^$^ stupid.... #%$@#$@#$!@#$@#%#@$@#$#$^$#!@!@!!@
 
They were the best ending laps I've ever seen in a race. It was like watching a movie based on F1 with all it's exaggerations.
