Kimi Raikkonen's last F1 win for Ferrari came over six years ago when he was victorious at Spa-Francorchamps in the 2009 Belgian Grand Prix. Raikkonen started from second place behind Giancarlo Fisichella's Force India, but his KERS-powered Ferrari - only McLaren also used KERS for the entire season - swept past at the start and was able to keep the Italian at bay throughout the race.
