Kimi Raikkonen - 2007 Formula One World Champion

imi Raikkonen is the new Formula One world champion after Lewis Hamilton's dreams were crushed in Brazil.

Hamilton endured a nightmare race at Interlagos, finishing only seventh after running wide on the first lap and then losing around forty seconds when his McLaren lost power.

The problem proved decisive with the rookie unable to battle back into the fifth place he required for the title.

Raikkonen drove a flawless race to finish on 110 points. Hamilton, having led the championship since May, ended the year just a solitary point behind the Finn.
