The Colombian, who joins rivals McLaren next season, took control of the race after the first set of pit stops and held off the advances of future team-mate Kimi Raikkonen to take the chequered flag.

The victory, by a one-second margin, was the first of the season for both Montoya and the team and was the driver’s fourth of his Formula One career, which began with Williams in 2001.
