FERRARI (Kimi Raikkonen 3, Felipe Massa 7)
Raikkonen's first points in five races, first podium finish since August but the end of his title defence, with the Finn now mathematically out of contention. Massa finished eighth but gained a place when Toro Rosso's Bourdais was demoted to 10th. The Brazilian is now five points adrift of Lewis Hamilton, with whom he collided in the race. Ferrari regained the lead in the constructors' standings.
