A splendid show by Ferrari to win the French Grand Prix on Sunday and take the lead in the Formula One championship for the first time. Massa took the chequered flag 17.9 seconds clear of Raikkonen on an overcast and damp afternoon.
Massa currently leads the drivers championship standings with three victories this season also helping Ferrari to clinch on to its Constructors championship.
Kimi who had won last year in Magny-Cours had the pole position, but within few laps the Brazilian managed to surpass Kimi who had a exhaust problem on the 33rd lap and took the first place until the chequred flag.
