Kimi Raikonnen and the Nurburgring

Just a couple of points to ponder for Kimi fans before he starts off this weekend at the Nurburgring :

2003 Euro GP : Kimi was leading the GP when an engine failure meant the end of his race. Michael Schumacher, despite a spin after collision with Montoya, went on to finish 4th. Kimi lost the championship by 1 point.

2004 Euro GP : Kimi was running second until the first round of pitstops, and in an almost Trulli-like manner, had held up an entire train of challengers. His V10, expectedly failed, and once again, Raikonnen left the 'ring with nothing.

2005 Euro GP : Kimi, leading the GP was on his last lap. Engine failure again you ask ? Naah. The suspension gave way this time, and what could have been 20 point lead for Alonso became an eventually unmanageable 32 point lead. Kimi effectively lost the championship here.

2006 Euro GP : ????

This is going to be a really crucial race for the McLaren team in terms of their hopes for the championships.
