Finally fulfilling the promise of "proving himself," he climbed the last step towards the F1 hall of fame and once again stood in front of the pinnacle paddock.

Chen Xiangbei had fallen before, but now he absolutely wouldn't allow the past to repeat itself.

The next time the national anthem plays, Chen Xiangbei hopes it's on the F1 podium.

As the award ceremony ended, the fans observing below the track burst into enthusiastic applause and cheers once more.

But this celebration didn't last long, quickly being overshadowed by another event: the F1 driver parade.

The aura of this race ultimately belongs to F1, not to Chen Xiangbei, the F3 warm-up race champion.

Returning to Campos Team's P room, as the event concluded, team members relaxed, except for the technicians who still had the post-race maintenance duties.

This time, Chen Xiangbei didn't leave early; he just stood inside the team's P room, appreciating the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa Station.

Lots of highlights in the 09 F1 season, mainly because no big teams formed a monopoly, with many small and medium-sized teams showing extraordinary performance, making almost every race filled with suspense.

For instance, the pole position at Spa Station was unexpectedly grabbed by Indian Force's Fisichella.

Raikkonen, once the "King of Spa," only managed to qualify sixth.

But this race made Chen Xiangbei truly understand why Raikkonen is known as the "King of Spa," why he became Ferrari's last glory!

Chen Xiangbei started by following Ricardo to overtake Bottas, which could be considered a quick and beautiful move.

But compared to Raikkonen's start, it was like comparing a little witch to a great wizard!

When Raikkonen overtook Barrichello in front of him, the other car just moved about a car length, roughly five meters!

Chen Xiangbei didn't know whether to say Raikkonen was ridiculously strong or Barrichello was having a "senior moment"—how could a title contender be beaten like this?

The following scene demonstrated that beneath Raikkonen's unsmiling exterior lay a burning racing heart.

He fought for a late brake at the T1 bend, reaching the point of dashing through the buffer zone like "cutting watermelon" out of the corner, but when he returned to the main track, he had already moved from sixth to third.

Passing the long straight by Red River Shore, he forcefully overtook Trulli in second, leaving only pole-sitter Fisichella ahead.

Starting along with overtaking four cars in two bends, and all opponents were frontline F1 drivers. Such scenes, if not seen firsthand, are almost unimaginable.

Many once praised Chen Xiangbei's speed and talent, but now the audience is going crazy for this historic talent monster as the Ferrari prancing horse flags wave across the venue.

"Damn, Brother Bei, is Raikkonen even human?"

Ayong, who was checking the car, happened to see this scene on the monitor screen hung on the wall.

He stopped what he was doing in shock, swallowed heavily, and asked that question.

Ayong wasn't familiar with Raikkonen before, only knowing he was a very formidable Finnish driver. The reporters compared him with Brother Bei in a pre-race interview, which made Ayong quite dissatisfied.

What's wrong with Brother Bei saying he's stronger than Raikkonen? Didn't you see him slaughtering in the lower formula levels?

Now Ayong somewhat understood why the spectators erupted when Chen Xiangbei made bold claims to surpass Raikkonen.

This Finnish bastard's speed felt like he was wreaking havoc in the F1 Paddock!

It's undeniable that everyone who enters the F1 Paddock is a genius, but there are differences among geniuses.

Raikkonen belongs to that category of geniuses among geniuses; he only lost in discipline!

"He is a bit strong."

It's often said not to lose in presence even if acknowledging defeat—despite Chen Xiangbei's reluctance to admit it, Raikkonen's overtaking scene at Spa Circuit definitely deserves to be called a god-level start.

The problem is that Raikkonen isn't the only monster in the F1 Paddock; there are even stronger ones than him.

Conquering the realm of geniuses is indeed no easy task...

"Just a bit?"

Lu Xiaoman laughed upon hearing and asked back, the kid's mouth is really stubborn.

When the race reached the thirteenth lap, Raikkonen overtook the pole-sitter Fisichella from the outside line.

Upon seeing this, Odetto calmly said, "No suspense now, Kimi is indeed worthy of being called the King of Spa."

Actually, there was no need for Odetto to say it; Chen Xiangbei already knew the outcome of this race.

Kimi Raikkonen claimed Spa Station's champion, securing the only victory for the Ferrari Dynasty all year round.

Due to Ferrari Team's poor competitive edge, Kimi Raikkonen negotiated with McLaren Team, hoping to join next year.

However, the negotiation ended without result, and then he announced his withdrawal from F1 to switch to WRC as a rally driver.

It can be said that Raikkonen has always been so carefree and easygoing, not caring about external views and living only for the life he wants.

This carefreeness gave him mental freedom but limited his professional height.

Forty-four laps concluded, history didn't change, Kimi Raikkonen won the Spa Station champion title.

In contrast was Brawn GP, the championship-contending team that displayed a "kingly aura" at the start of the season, now entirely showing a decline.

Button's racecar malfunction forced retirement, and Barrichello, who qualified fourth, only finished seventh. Vettel and Weber from Red Bull Racing Team were closing in, and the mid-season upgrade lag had already cost the BGP001 car its competitiveness!
