Raikkonen takes F1 title
SAO PAULO: Kimi Raikkonen won his first Formula One title by winning the Brazilian Grand Prix on Sunday, taking advantage of Lewis Hamilton’s mistake on the first lap and Fernando Alonso’s disappointing run.
The Ferrari driver took the lead with 17 laps to go, coming from third in the drivers’ standings to win the tightest race for the championship in 21 years. Team-mate Felipe Massa was second in Sunday’s race. Hamilton, trying to become the first rookie to win the title and F1’s youngest champion, went off the track on the first lap and later had problems with his McLaren to finish seventh.
Team-mate Alonso finished third.
He would have had to finish second and Hamilton fifth to keep Raikkonen from winning the drivers’ championship.
Raikkonen erased a 7-point gap coming into the race to finish with 110 points, one more than Hamilton and Alonso. — AP
