Kimi Räikkönen raises his fist in salute as the McLaren-Mercedes pit crew celebrate the win in Barcelona. Räikkönen had the smoothest of rides to his first victory of the season, as the team shook off the reliability issues that have somewhat hampered their progress so far this year. The car was fast right from the first practice and qualifying laps, and Räikkönen set several fastest lap-times before he eased off after his first pit-stop.
