"The old saying claims that race cannot be won on the first lap but it can certainly be lost. For Kimi Raikkonen that rule does not apply, while for four drivers in the midfield the adage is completely appropriate.

Kimi Raikkonen started the 44-lap Belgian Grand Prix from sixth position on the grid and used his KERS advantage to perfection to vault second on the run up to Les Combes on the first lap behind pole sitter Giancarlo Fisichella. Behind Romain Grosjean triggered a four car accident at the same turn bringing out the safety car.

Leaning heavily on KERS once again at the restart, the 2007 world champion blasted by Fisichella to take the lead and despite the best efforts of the Force India driver, Raikkonen was able to maintain a slender advantage all the way to the chequered flag and record his fourth victory at the Spa Francorchamps circuit."

I must say that I've been very very very very...delighted to see Kimi Raikkonen take the Spa win. I almost cried tears of joy (I've been doing that a lot this year)...people who were making fun of Ferrari all this while are beginning to eat their own words as Kimi won in a car not upgraded.

I remember once saying that Kimi is a joke and is a waste of space at the Scuderia. Never have I been happier to be proven wrong. The way Kimi used KERS at the start was superb.

Furthermore, he went around the outside to overtake everyone using KERS.

I guess that in life, all of us need our own form of KERS to vault ourselves ahead.

And sometimes, we cannot go the common way. While everyone uses the straight path, sometimes we must take an alternate path, like what Kimi did by going around the outside.

Haha, whatever it is, I am overjoyed...

Forza Ferrari!

Get well soon Felipe!
