Kimi Raikkonen had to enjoy watch much of the race through a television screen or leaning over the pitwall after blowing his Ferrari's engine. For Scuderia Ferrari, this is the second engine blowout in two races, although the previous puff of smoke was worse as it came from the leader of the Hungarian GP, Felipe Massa. The video of Kimi's V8 kicking the bucket is below.
Ferrari's lead in the team standings is only eight points over McLaren-Mercedes. Since the Mercedes V8s seem to be powering through the race, even Ferrari victories (like Massa's in this grand prix) won't suffice. Ferrari took 10 points, but McLaren-Mercedes posted 2nd and 4th place finishes, providing 13 points. With six more races, more results like that will give McLaren-Mercedes the constructors championship.
