After starting fifth on the grid at the Spanish GP and then brilliantly sweeping around the outside of Kimi Raikkonen and Lewis Hamilton at Turn 3, Fernando Alonso and Ferrari embraced a four-stop strategy in a race where tyre wear was off the charts to win fairly comfortably from Raikkonen, with Felipe Massa finishing third.
This was the last time Massa stood on the podium as a Ferrari driver but incredibly, this would also turn out to be Alonso’s 32nd and final F1 victory – something nobody at the time could have even begun to predict.
