2012 ITALIAN GP: HAMILTON WITH EASY WIN

Lewis easy, Alonso had to earn his Podium!!!
Lewis Hamilton won a compelling Italian Grand Prix in which both Jenson Button and Sebastian Vettel retired while Sergio Perez came from 12th on the grid to finish second. Hamilton dominated the race throughout with the action taking place behind him, but Perez, the star performer, finished just 4.3s behind at the end of the race.

Fernando Alonso finished third after starting from tenth and couldn't stop Perez passing him seven laps from the end of the race. Felipe Massa finished fourth after playing a dutiful role for Ferrari, splitting the McLarens at the start and then making way for Alonso midway through the race.

Kimi Raikkonen finished fifth, the only other championship contender to make the chequered flag as Mark Webber retired two laps from the end. Michael Schumacher finished close behind Raikkonen in sixth place ahead of his team-mate Nico Rosberg, Paul di Resta, Kamui Kobayashi and Bruno Senna.
