Report

Race report

Ferrari's Fernando Alonso re-wrote history on Sunday when he won the Spanish Grand Prix from fifth place on the grid.

Ferrari's four-stop strategy paid off as tyre degradation dictated proceedings with Alonso holding off the Lotus of Kimi Raikkonen to win for the second time on home soil.

Felipe Massa completed a good day for Ferrari with third place and his first podium finish of the season with championship leader Sebastian Vettel finishing fourth ahead of Red Bull team-mate Mark Webber.

Vettel retained the championship lead with 89 points but he is now just four points clear of Raikkonen while Alonso is firmly in contention on 72 points.

Alonso made a typically fast start from fifth, gaining two places in the first few corners, before sitting patiently behind pole sitter Nico Rosberg and Vettel.

But the Spaniard hit the front after the first set of pit stops and, despite Raikkonen briefly taking the lead midway through the race, an Alonso victory never looked in doubt therafter.

Alonso's victory was only the second time in 23 races at the Spanish track that the winner did not start on the front row as Mercedes' tyre troubles continued.

Rosberg had to hold off Paul Di Resta to finish sixth while Lewis Hamilton dropped from second to 12th in the other Mercedes.
