Massa wins France

Ferraris sweep France with a comfortable 1-2

Ferrari secured a one-two in the French Grand Prix at Magny-Cours, Felipe Massa winning from Kimi Raikkonen.


Toyota's Jarno Trulli finished third, claiming his first podium of the season.

Britain's Lewis Hamilton suffered a terrible race after incurring a 10-place grid penalty for running into Raikkonen in the pitlane during the last GP in Canada, eventually finishing in 11th

Massa now leads the world championship with 48 points from former leader Robert Kubica (46), who finished in fifth in the BMW Sauber behind McLaren's Heikki Kovalainen, with Raikkonen third on 43 and Hamilton still on 38.

Mark Webber took sixth in the Red Bull ahead of Renault pair Nelson Piquet Jr and Fernando Alonso, Piquet snatching a position from his tam-mate on the penultimate lap as he recorded his first points of the season.


Briton David Coulthard, team-mate of Webber, ended in ninth ahead of Toyota's Timo Glock.

Raikkonen lost a gap of seven seconds on Massa as he suffered an exhaust problem that persisted until the end of the race, costing him small amounts of time - with 32 laps remaining he let the Brazilian past.
