Kimi Raikkonen Is Finally Announced As Champion

Posted on October 22nd, 2007 by Oliver White

Kimi Raikkonen - 2007 Brazilian Grand PrixThe possible scuppering of Kimi Raikkonen’s championship has been finalised in the Finn’s favour. Although Raikkonen magnificently won the Brazilian Grand Prix with a little help from his team mate Felipe Massa, the legality of the BMWs and Williams put the celebrations on hold. Their cars were scrutinised with fuel temperatures lower than the mandatory 10 degrees less than ambient temperatures. However, the stewards have announced that no penalties would be handed out, thus confirming Raikkonen as the 2007 Formula One World Champion. Continue Reading…

BMW & Williams May Scupper Raikkonen’s Title Win

Posted on October 21st, 2007 by Oliver White

Kazuki Nakajima - 2007 Brazilian Grand PrixIn typical Formula One fashion, the title is not yet over. Despite winning the Brazilian Grand Prix a few hours ago, Kimi Raikkonen may not have won the title yet. The reason behind this lack of confirmation falls to the fuel temperature of both BMWs and both Williams, three of which cars finished ahead of Lewis Hamilton in the final positions in the Brazilian Grand Prix.

Kimi Raikkonen Wins Big In Brazil

Posted on October 21st, 2007 by Oliver White

Kimi Raikkonen - 2007 Brazilian Grand PrixKimi Raikkonen has become the 2007 Formula One World Champion. In a hectic race where each of the top three could have won it, it was Raikkonen who led his team mate over the finish line to win his first Brazilian race and his first world champion. After so many close attempts, Kimi is a worthy champion, and after his convincing display today around Autodromo Carlos Pace, McLaren will be kicking themselves for letting it slip away. From the first lap, it looked as though Ferrari would dominate, but what happened over the course of the Grand Prix wasn’t what was expected. Continue Reading…

Felipe Massa Storms To Brazilian Pole

Posted on October 20th, 2007 by Oliver White

Felipe Massa - 2007 Brazilian Grand PrixFelipe Massa has stolen the front row away from Lewis Hamilton with an immensely fast lap around the Autodromo Carlos Pace, concluding the final qualifying session of the 2007 season. With a supreme 1m11.931s, Massa is clearly running a little light and will likely pit first tomorrow. Lewis Hamilton did a fine job to finish his day in second, his final tour of Interlagos today showing the world just what a determined driver he is. Fernando Alonso appeared to suffer from tyre issues during the final stint, one set coming off his McLaren looking particularly worn. Alonso could only muster a fourth, failing to get past Kimi Raikkonen. The Finn will start tomorrow’s race looking directly at the rear of his team mates wing. Continue Reading…

Interlagos: Practice Sessions

Posted on October 19th, 2007 by Oliver White

Kimi Raikkonen - 2007 Brazilian Grand PrixWith rain falling over Sao Paulo over night, the host to the final performance of the season - Interlagos - was greasy and slippery for the opening practice session of the Brazilian Grand Prix. Because of the track conditions, several drivers did not complete a flying lap in the morning, among those being championship defender Fernando Alonso and Giancarlo Fisichella of Renault. With Lewis Hamilton only managing the fifth quickest lap, it was Ferrari who were left to dominate the morning session, Kimi Raikkonen getting the better of Felipe Massa. Later on in the day the roles were reversed and with a clearer track, McLaren got straight down to business going first and second with Alonso getting the better of Hamilton. Continue Reading…

However, by the time the chequered was being prepared Kimi had seen the stranded Number-Two McLaren and was defending his position to a resurgent Fernando Alonso. Continue Reading…
