Slow Victory

Wow, just watched the end of the Belgium Grand Prix! Rain fell with a couple of laps to go. Raikkonen lost his lead to Hamilton, then the rain gets harder and both cars on dry tyres start to slide everywhere.

Around the next bend a car had spun and Hamilton had to dive off the track to miss it. Raikkonen took the lead again, but spun coming out of the corner, Hamilton back into first as they slide around for one more lap to go... as they enter the main straight Raikkonen got his wheels on the white lines on the edge of the track and spins hitting the wall...

Hamilton then creeped around a very slippery track very slow to claim another Grand Prix title.

But what a way to finish, slow and careful, fearful of sliding off and hitting the wall, even at such a slow pace. And poor Raikkonen leading the entire grand prix to put his Ferrari in the wall on the second last lap!

Exciting stuff!
