Kimi Raikkonen may have strengthened his world championship credentials by triumphing in the Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona, but the real joy of the race was that of countryman Heikki Kovalainen, who emerged heavily shaken but thankfully otherwise seemingly unscathed from a terrifyingly high-speed accident when his McLaren-Mercedes broke just after he had taken the lead of the race.
Raikkonen's practically unchallenged victory in a race of attrition has further extended his drivers' world championship lead - albeit now over Lewis Hamilton rather than Nick Heidfeld, who endured a nightmare weekend - with Ferrari team-mate Felipe Massa shadowing the Finn race-long, but never truly threatening the defending title-winner's superiority.
