Should not this thread by titled "Spa-Maître"?
It is important for some forum members to name correctly, I understand.
Spa is not quite in Deutschland. It is a 30 minute drive from Eau Rouge to the land where people say "meister" .
If referring to Mr Raikkonen individually, the title should read "Spa-isäntä", I think?
If wrong, Scusi, my Finnish is not good, and neither is google translations!
Kimi could not inherit anything that year. He was in the barrier after Blanchimont.Quote:

I think you may be correct about this one. Scusi.Quote:

To be fair, Kimi won 6 races to Hamiltons 4.Quote:

He definitely comes close. 2004 springs to mind.
Offhand I don't know who has the record for victories, but Jim Clark certainly qualifies for consideration as Spa master. He won 4 in a row there, and this despite the fact he hated the place. His first F1 race there in 1960 resulted in a couple of terrible fatalities.Quote:

:D Although wouldn't it have been wonderful to have Clark and Senna retired and commentating today?
NOT in 1987.Quote:
