Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen finished first and second in Sunday's Turkish Grand Prix.

Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen finished first and second in Sunday's Turkish Grand Prix.

The F2007s of Massa and Raikkonen had run ahead of him all the way (barring the first pit stops), and had just made their last ones (lap 41 for the Finn, lap 42 for the Brazilian) when bad luck struck the Englishman.

He was very fortunate to be able to limp back to the pits for his final set of tyres - the medium (softer) compound for the first time - and resumed fifth. Crucially, however, Alonso had swept by to take third place, with Heidfeld fourth.

The result moves Massa to third place overall again in the driver standings with 69 points, one ahead of Raikkonen, but now Alonso is back within five points of Hamilton, 79 to 84.

Until that moment of drama it was a relatively quiet race, especially since only Red Bull’s Mark Webber and Spyker’s Adrian Sutil retired, on laps nine and 55 respectively.

Massa led throughout, while Raikkonen beat Hamilton off the line and hunted his team mate down just before their second stops, but could not mount a real challenge. Thereafter they toured home, just as Alonso toured round in third well ahead of Heidfeld after initially dropping behind both BMWs at the start.
Raikkonen amused himself by dropping 7.4s back on lap 56 before setting the fastest lap of the race - 1m 27.295s - on lap 57. By the flag he was 2.2s adrift of Massa, with Alonso a further 23.9s behind.

After Heidfeld and Hamilton, another strong drive from Heikki Kovalainen reaped sixth place for Renault. With Hamilton nursing a damaged front wing following his puncture, the Finn could sense fifth, but in the end crossed the line a second adrift of the McLaren. Behind them Nico Rosberg put in a great performance to keep his Williams just ahead of Robert Kubica’s BMW Sauber for the final points.

Giancarlo Fisichella was ninth from David Coulthard in the Red Bull and Alex Wurz in the Williams, and behind them Toyota and Honda staged a spirited battle over 12th that fell eventually to a lapped Ralf Schumacher from Jenson Button and Super Aguri’s Anthony Davidson.
