Ferrari's Raikkonen wins at Spa

Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen has kept his Formula One world title hopes alive with victory at the Belgian Grand Prix.

The Finn spearheaded Ferrari's third one-two in the last five races, with Felipe Massa second and Fernando Alonso third.

Britain's Lewis Hamilton finished fourth but still leads the Driver's Championship by two points with three races remaining.

Earlier, the Finn took his 13th career pole and his third of the season, lapping in 1:45.994 with Massa second fastest at 1:46.011.

As McLaren continues to reel from the £49.2 million fine imposed over the "spygate" affair, 22-year-old Hamilton started fourth on the second row at Spa alongside Alonso.

Raikkonen had struggled with an injured neck at Ferrari's home Italian Grand Prix last weekend after a crash in practice.
