Kimi Raikkonen has won his first race of the season after a thrilling Belgian Grand Prix as Michael Schumacher clinched the world championship.
Schumacher's Ferrari finished second behind the McLaren after an eventful race punctuated by dramatic crashes.
Raikkonen led by 12 seconds until a second of three safety car periods with 14 laps to go, but comfortably held off Schumacher in the final laps.
Jenson Button's 200mph tyre failure prompted the second caution period.
Rubens Barrichello finished third, despite being last at the end of the first lap, and was followed home by the Saubers of Felipe Massa and Giancarlo Fisichella and the Jaguar of Christian Klien.
Button was lucky to escape uninjured after he suffered a puncture at the fastest part of the track.
His BAR spun and collected the Minardi of Zsolt Baumgartner, but both men were unhurt after a crash that Button said "could have been horrific".
Nice to see a 'new' face at the front
