Pole-sitter Felipe Massa tries to keep his cool and prepares for the testing hot and humid conditions ahead in Sepang Massa leads into the first corner of the race from Ferrari team-mate Kimi Raikkonen, who decides not to pass yet The race is quickly over for Adrian Sutil as he skids his Force India car into the gravel and gets stranded on the grass Lewis Hamilton moves up to fifth after lap one but is held up by some excellent defending from Red Bull's Mark Webber Things get worse for Hamilton when he spends 20 seconds in the pits because of a problem with the wheel nut Bad luck for Massa too as he spins off at turn eight on lap 31 leaving his car to be lifted to safety and Raikkonen in charge Raikkonen is back to his best as he takes the chequered flag 19.6 seconds ahead of Robert Kubica for his 16th career win Finnish fans find a way to stay cool as they celebrate The Iceman's victory in Sepang It must have been thirsty work for BMW Sauber's runner-up Kubica as he celebrates his best-ever result Heikki Kovalainen raises a wave as he celebrates taking third for McLaren and gives those Finnish fans more to cheer Jarno Trulli fends off Hamilton's late surge as the Italian speed machine takes fourth, his best result since July 2006 Uh-oh Raikkonen gets champagne squirted in his eye but says apart from that "it was a perfect week"
