Spa shock: The Kimi & Fisi show

Kimi Raikkonen ended a 25 race drought to win the Belgian Grand Prix. But the biggest cheer was for the man who finished second.

Giancarlo Fisichella scored Force India's first ever points - leaving team boss Vijay Mallya "in a state of shock". He led from pole position, but was compromised by a first lap crash that brought out the safety car. On the re-start, Raikkonen was able to use his KERS boost to blast past Fisichella. Nevertheless, the Force India had the pace to keep within a second of the Ferrari throughout the race.

"He overtook me because of the KERS and I'm a little bit sad because... second is a great result but we could have won," said Fisichella.

Sebastian Vettel was glad of third place as many of his championship challengers faltered. It means he takes a six-point chunk out of Jenson Button's lead, after the Englishman was hit by Romain Grosjean on the first lap. His Renault predecessor, Nelson Piquet, reacted sarcastically via Twitter. "Well done Grosjean," he typed. The crash also took out Lewis Hamilton.

Raikkonen's team mate, Luca Badoer, finished a distant last again. Fisichella's performance this weekend has led to rumours he may drive the number 3 Ferrari at his home grand prix in two weeks. "That's just rumour," he said, denying there had been any contact. "Even if they call, there are many things to think about, so we'll see."

There have been six different winners from the last six races - something we haven't seen since 1982. It was also Raikkonen's fourth win at the Spa Francorchamps circuit, and there was an uncharacteristic flicker of a smile on the podium. "We were probably not the fastest in laptimes, but we managed to keep everyone behind," said the hard partying Finn. Asked if he had missed the taste of champagne, he replied "A drink after the race always tastes good, it doesn't matter what's in the bottle."
