Lewis Hamilton moved closer to his world championship dream with a dramatic victory at Spa following an extraordinary finish to the Belgian Grand Prix.
The McLaren driver was closing up on Ferrari rival Kimi Raikkonen in the closing laps of the race when a rain shower caused havoc with two laps remaining.
With Hamilton looking far more comfortable in the increasingly slippery conditions, he passed Raikkonen at La Source on the penultimate lap but would lose the lead just a few corners later when he slid off the road.
However Raikkonen almost immediately spun again and then got totally out of shape in the run down to the final chicane – crashing into the wall with his championship defence in tatters.
Hamilton tiptoed around the final lap to increase his championship advantage to eight points, with Felipe Massa doing the same to come through in second place after a race in which he failed to match his chief rivals.
Behind their was further chaos, with Nick Heidfeld moving up from ninth to the final podium position in third after gambling on switching to intermediate tyres.
Fernando Alonso did likewise and came home fourth – where he had spent most of the race – demoting Toro Rosso’s Sebastian Vettel to fifth.
The second BMW of Robert Kubica was sixth, ahead of the other STR of Sebastien Bourdais and Toyota's Timo Glock
