Formula 1: Fifth win of the season for Ferrari

The Ferrari Formula 1 team that relies on damper technology from ZF Sachs Race Engineering celebrated its fifth victory in the ninth round of the season.


Like a week earlier at Magny-Cours, in the British Grand Prix at Silverstone it was Kimi Räikkönen who claimed the exploit. Thanks to fast lap times and a successful strategy with late pit stops, he secured his third win of the season. Team-mate Felipe Massa, who had to start from the pit lane, took fifth place after a strong chase to make up ground. This meant he pushed himself in a position between the two BMW-Sauber drivers Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld whose racers are fitted with dampers from ZF Sachs as well.
