How Kimi Raikkonen managed to win the 2007 World Championship is anyone's guess. But he did. And he proved how good he really is at the Brazilian GP.

Heading into the race, Raikkonen only just had a shout at the title, with a victory required to pose any threat to the real contenders Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso.

All season long McLaren had dominated the calendar, but controversy had struck this year too, and the pressure was beginning to tell.

Raikkonen took advantage of this and stormed ahead and all the way through to win the Grand Prix.

Lewis Hamilton aided Kimi's win by suffering a gearbox problem in the opening stages, and never really recovered, finishing only seventh in the end. While his teammate Alonso did manage third, it wasn't enough to clinch the title. All hail Kimi Raikkonen!
