Raikkonen celebrates Suzuka thriller

KIMI RAIKKONEN said his win in the Japanese Grand Prix will go down as one of his best ever races after he snatched victory in a nailbiting finish.

The Finn raced through from 17th to first, picking off former world champion Michael Schumacher in one of several passing moves in a thrilling race, and passing Giancarlo Fisichella for the win on the final lap.

“That is one of the best for sure, maybe the best one, because I really had to fight for it and after all the problems we had this weekend it was very nice,” he said.
