Finn wins again

Two-time champion Fernando Alonso was second for McLaren, 2.459 seconds back, while teammate Lewis Hamilton extended his perfect streak of top-three finishes in his rookie F1 season to nine races.

After starting from the pole position, Hamilton finished 39.373 seconds back from Raikkonen. Hamilton leads the drivers standings with 70 points, 12 ahead of Alonso and 18 in front of Raikkonen with eight races remaining.

After being shut out for six races since winning the season-opening Australian GP in March, Raikkonen is now the only driver to have won three times this year.

Felipe Massa, who is fourth in the standings with 47 points, stalled his Ferrari on the grid and had to start from the pits, forcing one lap to be cut from the race.

Hamilton, Raikkonen and Alonso started in that order and remained so until the end of the 16th lap when Hamilton pitted, followed two laps later by Raikkonen to give Alonso the lead.
