Fernando Alonso started fourth on the grid and disappoints all his fans by coming fifth at the chequered flag even though he over took Kimi Raikkonen at the first turn in the beginning of the race. Ferrari did a fantastic work at the first pit stop which allowed kimi snatch back his position but the biggest overtaking maneuver of the year by Nick Heidfeld allowed the defending world champion to slip fifth.

Whereas his team-mate Hamilton made history by taking a place on the podium for the third time in the season. It’s been 25 years since anyone did that. Hamilton is no more a rookie now.
