Kimi Raikkonen in the Brazilian Grand Prix
#7. Kimi Raikkonen Wins the Brazilian Grand Prix and F1 Title
Oct. 21, 2007
The final race of the Formula 1 season, the Brazilian Grand Prix, had more twists than a winding road course. Lewis Hamilton, a 22-year-old phenom from Great Britain, led in points throughout the season and seemed on track to become the first rookie ever to win the F1 title. Early in the race, a gearbox failure forced Hamilton into 18th place, but he charged back into seventh before falling just short of the title, as Kimi Raikkonen's win allowed him to finish one point ahead of Hamilton and his McLaren racing teammate, Fernando Alonso, in the final standings.
