After starting on pole Giancarlo Fisichella took his Renault to a brilliant race win in Sepang. After a refuelling error which put Fernando Alonso down the grid, he made it back up to concieve Renault's first 1-2 since their F1 return.

In the car that the commentators just can't stop calling a 'BAR', Briton Jenson Button managed the last podium slot, whilst his struggling team mate Rubens Barrichelllo was down in tenth.

Toyota have finally managed to break the duck, but only by one point - and that was by default when Nick Heidfeld's BMW gave in with less than ten laps to go when the German was running in fifth.

McLaren's Kimi Raikkonen retired on the first lap, whilst Montoya's uneventful race was only good enough for fourth.
