Kimi Raikkonen believes the unexpected grid for the Belgian GrandPrix could present him with the opportunity to take Ferrari’s first win
of 2009.
The former world champion starts sixth for today’s race behind
pole-sitter Giancarlo Fisichella, Jarno Trulli, Nick Heidfeld, Rubens
Barrichello and Robert Kubica. Of those drivers only Barrichello has
been a consistent front-runner and won the last race at Valencia.
In addition to this, Raikkonen’s is the only car in the top ten
equipped with KERS, which could prove a distinct advantage on the run
out of La Source on lap one.
"It would be stupid to say that I don’t believe [we can win]," he
said after qualifying on Saturday. "We are here to win races, so it is
not a big surprise. Yeah, probably we have a better chance with this
kind of grid than one with Red Bulls and Brawns and other teams at the
front.
"So I think there will be quite a lot of changes at the front tomorrow."
Raikkonen added that sixth on the grid was all that was possible
from the F60 at Spa, but that he expected the car to perform better on
a heavy fuel load.
"I don’t think we could go much faster," he said. "This is probably
the maximum that we can get, you can easily see the lap times in low
fuel – we are always a bit behind – but it helps us when we put a bit
more fuel in the car.
"For tomorrow’s race it is definitely looking different to normal,
so I think it looks like a more open race situation than usual. So we
will see what we can do."
This is it everyone – let’s just watch the master at work. Keep flying Kimi – we support you no matter what!

i think i’ve never been happy since he won the 2007 championship. lolllhe really drove a perfect race from start to finish. the F60 was certainly less quicker than the R Bulls and the F India but anyway Kimi made it since no one can defy him on his favourite playground. King of Spa!!!!! OMG, had he won last year, it would have been 5 in a row, f**k off Lewis!!! lol. Congrats to Fisi & F India….
