Ferrari wins at Spa, Force India scores

Finally, a Ferrari made it to the top of the podium. Kimi Raikkonen brought his Ferrari home after fending off a challenge from Force India's Giancarlo Fisichella. Kimi made a good start, overtaking a stationary Ruben Barrichello at the start of the race. The Ferrari's KERS was put into good use on lap 4 (after the Safety Car went back into the pits), as Kimi overtook Fisichella.

Giancarlo Fisichella surprised everyone when he qualified in pole position, giving Force India their first pole position. By finishing 2nd, he also earned Force India their first constructor's points. It is truely a remarkable day for Force India.

This was one race where Ferrari finished first and last, with Badoer coming in last. It was evident that Badoer lacks experience as Barrichello easily overtook him when Badoer left a big gap at one of the turns.

All in all, this was a great race for Kimi and Ferrari. Next stop, Italy.
