F1: 5 Drivers who won from the back of the grid

#3 Kimi Raikkonen - 17th Place

McLaren defied the odds yet again and finished the race on the top

A wet qualifying session ensured a surprise pole position for Toyota. The favourites, including Schumacher and Alonso, finished the session in the bottom half of the grid.

During the race, Kimi Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso made quick progress up the field and were aided by a safety car at the end of lap 1. The Finn continued his march ahead throughout the duration of the race and put constant pressure on the Renaults and the Ferraris. Raikkonen's moment came in the final lap when he performed a great overtaking manoeuvre to wrestle the lead away from Fisichella. He held on to that position and won the race by a margin of 1.6 seconds.

Elsewhere, Fernando Alonso took the third spot after starting the race from the sixteenth place.
