With a lackluster performance for Ferrari in Australia, Ferrari seemed to make a comeback during the Malaysia race. Kimi Raikkonen took the lead after the first pit stop and secured a win that puts him back into contention for a second world title.

Massa spinning out of an easy second place on the 31st lap, leaving Robert Kubica to take an excellent runner-up result for BMW Sauber. Heikki Kovalainen was McLaren’s leading runner in third place.

For Lewis Hamilton, he made a great start to jump from ninth up to fifth place behind the Ferraris, Kubica and similarly fast-starting Mark Webber in the Red Bull. But a problem with the right-front wheel during his first pit stop dropped him down to 11th place.

Despite that, Hamilton still leads in the world championship for drivers with 14 points, ahead of Raikkonen and Heidfeld on 11 apiece. In the constructors’ chase, McLaren lead with 24, ahead of BMW Sauber on 19 and Ferrari on 11.
