RAIKKONEN WINS MALAYSIAN GP



Kimi raikkonen wins the mayalsian GP at sepang and opened account for this years GP by cliaming a comfortable victory.He injecting Ferrari back into the title race after the disappointment of the previous week's flop in Australia where neither car finished. The Ferrari driver cruised home 19.5 seconds ahead of Robert Kubica's BMW Sauber with Heikki Kovalainen finishing third for McLaren.
The only negative for Ferrari was the failure by pole-sitter Felipe Massa to finish.
"It's a shame that Felipe was unable to let us bring home a (one-two) result that was within our grasp,'' Raikkonen said.
He passed his teammate in the first set of pitstops, and was never threatened.
"From then on, with a clear track ahead of me, the car was perfect, I was able to control the situation without having to stress the car or the tires,'' Raikkonen said. "We have had a very complicated start to the season, but I have certainly not lost faith in the team -- we can still do better.''
