Moreover, Fernando Alonso of Ferrari performed exceptionally well and secured a striking third podium finish after taking a start from 10th grid position. Although, the Spaniard faced a technical issue in his car during the final session of the
qualifying, however, he gave a promising performance in the race and provided the Scarlet team’s fans a moment to cheer.
Alonso’s teammate, Felipe Massa also showed an incredible pace as he came fourth in the race after setting off from the third grid place. The Brazilian driver stayed ahead of Kimi Raikkonen of Lotus who secured fifth place finish after starting from 7th
grid position.

failed which was an immense disappointment for the defending champions.
