The 22-year-old became the first ever driver to finish on the podium in his first three races whilst also climbing to joint leader of the championship alongside Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen.

Massa made up for letting pole position slip last week as he retained his grip on the lead throughout although Hamilton pushed hard towards the end to close the gap but in the end was unable to catch the Brazilian.

Ferrari team-mate Raikkonen finished third, while Nick Heidfeld capped a fine performance on the Sakhir circuit to take fourth place.

Two-time world champion Alonso ran the German close but in the end finished half a second behind the BMW Sauber driver in fifth place.

Robert Kubica ensured a good display for BMW Sauber as he took sixth place, Toyota's Jarno Trulli finished seventh while Giancarlo Fisichella, Heikki Kovalainen and Nico Rosberg rounded off the rest of the top 10.

There was disappointment for Jenson Button in his Honda once again as he was out of the race only minutes after climbing into his car.

Toro Rosso driver Scott Speed collided with the 27-year-old's car soon after the race began and the safety car was quickly deployed.

David Coulthard was once again unable to complete a race but it was extremely disappointing for the Red Bull driver as he had climbed from 21st on grid up to seventh before flames emanating from the under the car brought an end to his race mid-way through.

Super Aguri's Anthony Davidson also retired late on as smoke poured from the back of his car.
