Race - Alonso holds off stellar Perez for Sepang victory

Sunday's Malaysian Grand Prix was won by Ferrari's Fernando Alonso from Sauber's Sergio Perez and McLaren's Lewis Hamilton, but it was a race of two halves, and how different they were! The skies were already dark as cars went out on to the grid and 10 minutes before the start the rain came. Everyone started on intermediate tyres, Hamilton led team mate Jenson Button off the line, with Lotus's Romain Grosjean spearing between Mercedes' Michael Schumacher and the Red Bulls to grab third until he was repassed further round the lap and then clobbered Schumacher into a spin and followed suit himself.
