Brazil's Felipe Massa, driving a Ferrari, won his second consecutive Formula One race on Sunday in Spain, beating Britain's Lewis Hamilton, driving a Maclaren, and Spain's Fernando Alonso, driving a Mercedes.

However, the result took Hamilton into first place in the overall Grand Prix classification with 30 points, two more than Alonso and three more than Massa.

The race was Massa's from the first curve, when as Alonso tried to overtake Massa their cars clashed and Alonso spun off, losing his spot to Hamilton and allowing Finland's Kimi Raikkonen to take third.

Massa's only difficult moment was when he had to refuel for the first time on lap 19, and lost 55 seconds due to a fuel explosion, that caused a spectacular fire but did no harm.

Raikkonen left the race in lap nine after his car's right forward suspension broke.

Massa was 6.7 seconds ahead of Hamilton and 17.4 ahead of Alonso. Others winning points were fourth place Poland's Robert Kubica driving a BMW, fifth place Britain's David Coulthard driving a RBR, sixth place Germany's Nico Roberg driving a Williams Toyota, seventh place Finlands Heikki Kovalainen driving a Renault and eighth Japan's Takuma Sato.
