Giancarlo Fisichella who qualified 19th will start from last place (20th) after he was penalised for running the red light at the start of the first practice session on Friday.

Seems that those on the clean side of the track benefited. Massa leads with Hamilton who was 3rd moving into second, Kubica who was 5th moving into 3rd and Alonso who was 7th moving into 4th.

Alonso and Raikkonen nearly touched at turn 1!
