F1 | Belgian GP, ​​Spa and Kimi Raikkonen's poker

Spa is a circuit that brings back sweet memories Kimi Raikkonen. The Finnish has indeed won four times in his career, as well as Jim Clark. Only the sacred monsters named Ayrton Senna (5 victories) and Michael Schumacher (6) are better than him.

Raikkonen's first success came in 2004. It's a difficult season for Kimi, who arrives at Spa after two consecutive retirements in Germany and Hungary. That will also come in the Monza GP, but first the Finn gets the satisfaction of winning on one of the historic Formula 1 tracks. A victory that comes starting from tenth position on the grid, also crowned by fastest lap (1:45.108). Victory, that of Spa, which will be the only one of the season.

The following year Raikkonen doubled. This time the Belgian GP comes after the Italian one, where he finishes fourth. But in that season the Finn had already brought home five successes, in the midst of the fight for the title. This time qualifying smiles on Raikkonen, who starts second behind teammate Montoya, and then takes his sixth victory of the season.

In 2006 Spa is not on the calendar, but Kimi is patient and gets his hat trick the following year, this time driving a Ferrari. It is the year of the World title, which arrived thanks to an amazing end to the season, in which the Finn went to the podium consecutively in the last seven races, winning in Belgium, China and Brazil. At Spa, this time, the victory comes starting from pole, achieved with a time of 1:45.994.

2008 was the year of his teammate Felipe Massa, but in the following season in Belgium Raikkonen climbed to the top step of the podium starting from sixth position. It is the only victory of 2009, in a season of ups and downs for Kimi.
