Nico Rosberg took pole position for the race, ahead of his teammateLewis Hamilton.^[4]Fernando Alonso took his thirty-second and most recent Grand Prix victory—and his second in his home race—ahead ofLotus-Renault'sKimi Räikkönen andFerrari teammateFelipe Massa in third. Pole sitter Nico Rosberg finished sixth overall. The most notable overtaking move came on the first lap as Fernando Alonso went round the outside of both Kimi Räikkönen and Lewis Hamilton going into turn 3.^[5] Ferrari's strategy of making 4 pit stops was risky but proved to be the best choice as Alonso was able to beat Räikkönen who did one less to claim victory.^[6] This race was the most recent Formula One victory for Alonso as of April 2025^[update], the last race to be won by a Spanish driver untilCarlos Sainz Jr. won the2022 British Grand Prix, and the last race to be won by Ferrari until the2015 Malaysian Grand Prix.^{[citation needed]}
