Fisichella was a wholly unsatisfied and rather embarrassed second, ahead of
Fernando Alonso, who too had to fight his way up from the back of the field, including pulling off a classic move on Michael Schumacher no less around the outside of 130R - eventually a compromised strategy prevented him from winning, despite proving quicker than Raikkonen when they went up against one another.
Mark Webber was an impressive fourth for
Williams, ahead of British duo Jenson Button and
David Coulthard, the latter doing a sterling job to score three points for
Red Bull. Michael Schumacher was a lacklustre seventh, while brother Ralf was a disappointing eighth having started the race from pole.
