Kimi Raikkonen further cemented his ‘King of Spa’ nickname on this day in 2009 when the Ferrari ace secured his fourth Belgian Grand Prix win at Spa-Francorchamps.
Lining up second behind surprise pole sitter Giancarlo Fisichella, the Finn used his KERS on the Kemmel Straight to whizz past the Force India driver early in the race. Despite Fisichella hounding Raikkonen for the remainder of the grand prix, the Italian never managed to find a way past. This would prove to be Ferrari's sole win in an otherwise tough campaign for the Scuderia.
