Nico Rosberg took pole position for the race, ahead of his teammate Lewis Hamilton.[3] Fernando Alonso took his thirty-second Grand Prix victory—and his second in his home race—ahead of Lotus-Renault's Kimi Räikkönen and Ferrari teammate Felipe 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.[4] This would prove to be Alonso's final win in Formula 1. 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.[5] When the other teams tried to respond to Ferrari's pit stop strategy it was too late for them.
