Raikkonen keeps title hopes alive



Kimi Raikkonen kept the championship title race alive for another two weeks with victory at the Belgian Grand Prix. His McLaren team-mate Juan Pablo Montoya led for most of the race only to crash out just after Raikkonen had taken the lead after a late pit stop.

However championship leader Fernando Alonso's second place means he remains favourite to take the overall title. BAR's Jenson Button recovered from a poor start to take third while Michael Schumacher crashed out on lap 25. The victory was Raikkonen's sixth of the season and his second successive triumph at Spa-Francorchamps. (BBC Sport)

Yaay! Kimi! Another solid, thumpin victory from the Iceman. McLaren can do no wrong aside the odd mechnical failure and accident which happened again, this time is Montoya's turn. It is really frustrating to see all of this just kept happening but can't be helped. At least this victory will keep it alive and hoping Renault or Alonso choke along the way while praying a plague free races for McLaren. Good luck Kimi!
