Massa wins Bahrain Grand Prix

Ferrari’s Felipe Massa has won the Bahrain Grand Prix from team-mate Kimi Raikkonen with BMW’s Robert Kubica third.

Massa went on to take the chequered flag for the first time since last August's Turkish Grand Prix, and the sixth time in his career, finishing 3.3 seconds ahead of Raikkonen, claiming his 50th career podium.

Kubica held onto third for the remainder of the race from Heidfeld, and with the 11 points from the duo it means BMW Sauber lead the constructors’ championship for the first time in their history.

The team hold a one-point lead over Ferrari and two to McLaren, who barely salvaged a miserable day with Kovalainen’s fifth place.

Trulli in his Toyota was sixth, followed by the Red Bull of Mark Webber for a second successive seventh place, with Williams’ Nico Rosberg taking a point for eighth.

Hamilton could do no better than an unlucky 13th, with Davison 16th and Coulthard 19th.
