Malaysian Grand Prix:

Sepang looked set to witness the second straight McLaren victory of the season but a slow pit-stop by pole-sitter Hamilton cost him that opportunity, likewise Button after he was driven into by Narain Karthikeyan. So, instead it paved the way for a straight duel between Fernando Alonso and Sergio Perez, the Ferrari man holding off the Sauber driver despite a late challenge from the unfancied Perez. Alonso, whose Ferrari had earlier struggled for pace, said: "It is an unbelievable result."
