Kimi equals fastest lap record
Ten in a season

Oct.1 (GMM) Despite crashing out and scoring no points, world champion Kimi Raikkonen equalled a record at Sunday's Singapore grand prix.

The Finn set the fastest lap of the sport's first night race; his tenth such achievement in the 15 grands prix so far in 2008.

"In the opening laps, the car was a bit difficult but then it improved a lot," Raikkonen confirmed.

It equals Michael Schumacher's standing record of ten fastest laps in the 2004 season, an achievement 28-year-old Raikkonen also equalled as a McLaren driver in 2005.
