Kimi Dominates In Spain

Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen became the eighth consecutive man to win the Spanish Grand Prix from pole position, when he dominated Sunday's race at the Circuit de Catalunya.

The Finn shrugged off two safety car periods - the second when Heikki Kovalainen crashed his McLaren heavily after a front-end failure put him off the road in turn nine at an estimated 140 mph – all Heikki got for his mishap was a sore elbow and a slight concussion. A true testament to the safety of today’s modern race cars.

It may not have been a classic race, but Raikkonen's championship score is now 29 points and his lead is nine over Hamilton (20), while Massa jumps up to fourth with 18, one behind Kubica (19). Nico Rosberg was headed for seventh place until his Toyota engine broke, Fernando Alonslow was running fifth when his engine also blew up and the only reason he was so high on the grid for qualifying was because he was running on empty. This was done to increase the gate on Sunday, as it was Slacklonso’s home race.
