The Finn finished ahead of Robert Kubica in a BMW with Lewis Hamilton’s McLaren team-mate Heikki Kovalainen third.

Hamilton came in fifth, one place behind Jarno Trulli’s Toyota following a disastrous 20-second pitstop for the British driver.

Pole-sitter Felipe Massa saw his race end after 30 laps when he beached his Ferrari in the gravel.

A Ferrari victory had looked odds-on before the race as McLaren rivals Kovalainen and Hamilton had both been hit by five-place grid penalties for impeding Nick Heidfeld and Fernando Alonso, meaning they lined up eighth and ninth respectively.

And with the threat of rain failing to materialise, a clean start from both Ferrari drivers did little to change that assumption.

Massa managed to fend off Raikkonen through the first corner and set about consolidating his advantage, while Kubica climbed to third and Webber fourth as a poor getaway from Trulli saw him slip to sixth.

An excellent start from Hamilton saw the McLaren driver jump to fifth after the first lap.

But Timo Glock was unable to continue after his Toyota collided with Nico Rosberg’s Williams, while Adrian Sutil’s race also ended in retirement on lap six.

The Ferraris proved dominant in the early stages as Massa established a slight advantage over Raikkonen, the pair leaving Kubica trailing in the distance.

Hamilton was beginning to catch Webber and moved up to fourth when the Australian was the first of the front runners to come in at the end of lap 15, before Massa made his first stop a lap later.

The Brazilian rejoined behind Kovalainen leaving Raikkonen out in front and the Finn tried to make the most of a clear track before diving into the pits for a 7.9-second stop.

It was an excellent effort and saw him come out in fourth place, behind Kovalainen but crucially in front of his Ferrari team-mate.

But disaster struck for Hamilton when he pitted from second as a problem with the right front wheel saw him stationary for 20 seconds and scuppered any hopes of a podium. He rejoined in 11th behind Webber.

Raikkonen continued to forge ahead once Kubica pitted from the lead and had established a five-second gap over Massa when his afternoon suddenly became considerably less stressful.

The Brazilian spun at turn eight and ended up in the gravel, his race over after 30 laps.

That pushed Kubica up to second but 22 seconds behind the leader, while Kovalainen had crept up to third, a further 17 seconds adrift.

Hamilton was harassing Webber but could not find a way past the Red Bull while Heidfeld had also joined the scrap.

Raikkonen made his second stop of the afternoon at the end of lap 37 with a 24.5-second advantage over Kubica and a clean effort saw him rejoin in second place, around six seconds back.

Hamilton was still tussling with Webber for fifth but Heidfeld had begun to fall away before the Red Bull pitted and the Brit at last had a clear track in front of him.

It proved decisive as he made his second stop at the end of lap 44 and an 8.9-second effort allowed him to leapfrog the Australian.

But once Kubica had again handed the lead to Raikkonen after pitting for a second time, there was no stopping the Finn and he cruised to victory by 19.5 seconds.

Kovalainen claimed his first McLaren podium in third, 38.4 seconds behind Raikkonen.

Despite managing to chase down Trulli in the closing stages, Hamilton was unable to pass the Italian and had to settle for fifth.

Heidfeld crossed the line in sixth, Webber claimed seventh when his afternoon had promised more while Alonso picked up the final point for Renault in eighth.

David Coulthard finished ninth in the second Red Bull while Jenson Button rounded out the top 10. Anthony Davidson crossed the line down in 15th but will be encouraged by the fact his Super Aguri completed the race.

Hamilton had to race 56 laps WITHOUT a single drop to drink.

He said: “I couldn’t get water from the bottle. It just didn’t work — I didn’t have any all race.

I was really thirsty and needed to drink lots of bottles after the race.

“But the great thing is my fitness and, physically, I felt fine. I was able to push all the way.

“For me it is great that I feel OK and could drive the car without any water.

Hamilton loses 7lbs

“I feel a lot better than I did after the race here last year.”

McLaren ace Hamilton, 23, lost over half a stone during his Sepang sauna as temperatures soared to over 100 degrees.

He started ninth on the grid after getting demoted five places following qualifying when race stewards ruled he impeded BMW’s Nick Heidfeld.

Despite seeing Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen cruise to victory, Hamilton came home in fifth place and still leads the championship by three points after the opening two races.

The Formula One circus now heads to Bahrain for the next race in 13 days.

Hamilton added: “It was one of those weekends. So-so.

“It wasn’t easy with the penalty and the Ferraris’ pace but we can bounce back.

“Without the penalty we would have been second and third maybe. But this is racing, these are the rules.

“We can improve and I am looking forward to the next race. I am still leading the championship.

“I still got four points and that is key.

“I was push, push, pushing to get as many points as possible. At least the reliability of the car was great and we had good pace.

“I got stuck in a lot of traffic and had the wheel-nut problem at the pit-stop.

“If that had not happened it would have been a lot easier. In my first and second stints behind people, my tyres were shot.

“When I was in the clear my pace was good.

“I pressed really hard to get that fourth place at the end.

“I really wanted that extra point and believed we could get it but Jarno Trulli drove really well.”

But this Valentine’s day, don’t rely on oysters and chocolate to put love on the menu, feed your fella foods to keep his energy up and senses heightened.

Fill your fridge full of the foods listed below, pop on some Barry White, and read on to find out how to put some va-va-voom in to your Valentine’s day.

Your sexy shopping list

Too many stodgy foods, like white bread will send your blood sugar levels sky high, but a couple of hours later you’ll feel sluggish and tired.

So, to increase energy levels slowly and steadily, fill up on low to medium GI carbs such as porridge, wholewheat spaghetti, pitta bread, or ryebread sarnies.

Steak, cottage cheese, salmon and low-fat yoghurt allboost your body’s levels of dopamine – the chemical which ups the sex drive of both men and women.

Make sure you munch on lean red meat, eggs, bran, sardines, and dark green leafy veg. These are all packed with iron – a key element in keeping you and your partner perky and alert all day long.

Protein-rich foods like fish, chicken, turkey and tofu have been shown to improve concentration. By stocking up on these for your evening meal, you will you feel more awake when it comes to night-time activity.

Oily fish like mackerel, herrings, sardines and anchovies are great sources of Omega threes, which get your blood pumping, increasing the sensitivity of your skin – in all the right places!

Red and purple foods like cherries, aubergines, radishes, blackcurrants and blueberries are all high in antioxidants which help the blood to flow more smoothly – helping your man to rise to the challenge.

Multi-grain bread, oysters, red meat, crab and sardines all contain zinc which is a crucial ingredient for keeping your eyesight, eyesight, taste,smell and memory heightened to make sure you have an unforgettable evening.

What do you do? Pounce?

Nope, a new survey says two in five of you read a book while a fifth would rather watch TV.

Only a teeny eight per cent of you decide to grab your fella for frisky fun before bedtime, according to the poll on homes website mydeco.com.

The problem, says behavioural psychologist Dr Linda Papadopoulos, is we’re not creating an environment conducive to passion.

What we need is a sexy boudoir, new nighttime sex rules and a change in our animal behaviour.

Maths boffins have even worked out a formula for the perfect boudoir.

Perfect bedroom = ((2(P+S)+3(T+A+E) + 2)/2)+((3(CL+BS)+4(PF+C+BT)–12)/2)

Luckily Linda is here to explain it in layman’s terms …

“What came across loud and clear in the study was how people rate their sex life, and about half were really unhappy with it,” says Linda.

“We found people are so busy with work and kids that they’re tired a lot of the time, and their lives become one big to-do list. We don’t see sex as important anymore.

“But things don’t fall in your lap in life – you need to work at it. You can’t just expect sex to happen.

“One problem is not many people are making an effort with their bedrooms,” says Linda, “TV interior design shows made it look a lot easier than it was to decorate.”

“So we got together with a mathematician and an architect and looked at all those things that matter to sex, like the way things feel, smell and look in your bedroom.

“Colours that are related to passion work best, like sexy red. Silk sheets, waterbeds and lacy camisoles also create the ideal sensual atmosphere.

“Changing your bedroom for sex sends a clear message to your partner that you do care about sex and are in the mood for it.

“It also gives you a psychological boost. You feel that because you’ve worked at this, your sex life will improve.”

Dr Linda’s top tips for getting in the mood for sex

1) Sex up your bedroom now and then, rather than every day. You don’t need to make big changes – something as simple as putting a dimmer on the light and changing what you wear to bed does the trick.

2) Show an interest in your partner. Ask how things are going for him and ask what his passions and worries are. Do that in the evening and you’re more likely to have the emotional intimacy that leads to physical intimacy.

3) Keep your bedroom just for sex and sleep. So remove work, your computer, and the TV from your room – whatever’s keeping you from having sex.

4) Take some time off and focus on yourself by having a long bath or doing something you enjoy. It often puts people in the mood because it boosts self-esteem, helping you connect with your man and feel sensual.

5) Make room for your partner in the bedroom. A lot of women’s rooms are very floral and pink and you think where’s the room for the guy here? It needs to feel like the room belongs to you both.

6) Don’t eat right before going to bed – it won’t put you in the right mood. Likewise, if you go to bed very late, you’ll probably spend more time thinking about how much sleep you’re losing than nookie.

7) Don’t freak him out with the decor. No one wants a photo of their mother-in-law staring at them while they’re having sex. And get rid of childhood fluffy toys – funnily enough, men don’t find them very sexy.

8) My best tip is simply to connect with each other. Go out for dinner, listen to ‘your’ song, or just look at old photos together.

That’s because sex uses every muscle group in the body and gives the heart and lungs a high-octane aerobic work-out.

It burns around 300 calories an hour.

And a good session at least three times a week boosts the heart, halving the risk of a heart attack or stroke, a study at Queen’s University in Belfast has discovered.

They say regular sex also boosts circulation and keeps down blood pressure.

Sex twice a week is the perfect COLD CURE as it boosts IgA – the immune system’s first line of defence, according to a study in New Scientist.

But don’t overdo it – sex more than three times a week LOWERS our defences.

Moments before orgasm, levels of the feelgood hormone oxytocin surge and flood the body with powerful endorphins.

These natural painkillers help ease everything from arthritis to migraine.

A steamy session also means we feel less stressed as it inhibits production of the hormone cortisol.

And, because it provides a calorie-burning work-out and helps maintain a healthy weight, it will reduce your risk of diabetes too.

An American study of 300 sexually active women whose partners did not use condoms found they were less likely to have depression.

Researchers think that is because they absorb the hormone prostaglandin, which is only found in sperm.

But do not try this if you are not in a stable relationship – a sexually transmitted infection is a recipe for depression.

An orgasm will release a surge of oestrogen, which can relieve the pain of PMS.

Researchers at Yale School of Medicine believe it could also help prevent endometriosis – a painful condition where the tissue which should line the womb grows in other parts of the pelvis.

Apart from the benefits of the work-out, sex boosts the production of testosterone.

This hormone is associated with stronger bones and muscles so may help fend off osteoporosis.

Sex also increases the output of oestrogen and other hormones that make the hair shine and skin glow.

And, according to NHS Direct, “if you are worried about wrinkles – orgasms even help prevent frown lines deepening”.

LAURA STOTT, our 29-year-old singleton, is determined to find love and will try anything to find her dream man.

This week she checked out fitness-singles.com in her search for a bloke to set her pulse racing.

I AM hardly in the same league as Paula Radcliffe but keeping fit is important to me.

I had high hopes of finding a like-minded sporty single on new website fitness-singles.com .

With more than 100,000 members in the UK, I was hopeful of meeting someone with similar interests.

And it didn’t hurt that most of the men on the site have great biceps and fit bodies.

It works the same way as a typical internet dating site — you register, post a photo and leave your profile.

Where it differs is that people talk about their sporting achievements and the photos show singles doing sporty stuff. I opted for a safe headshot.

There’s a real mix of people — from fans of more unusual sports such as martial arts, water polo and curling, to more everyday exercise lovers listing football, swimming and tennis.

There were also quite a few in training for next month’s London Marathon although I feared being invited on a 20-mile “warm-up” jog for a first date.

Within a few days I received 12 messages from some seriously good-looking guys.

“Runningman” looked interesting — except he lived in Scotland, a bit far for this London girl to go for a work-out.

The other profile which caught my eye was from Josh21, a 30-year-old photographer who had a great smile and liked outdoor sports. He also lived locally.

After chatting online for a couple of weeks we arranged a date — at Josh’s gym.

I’ll admit I was nervous. I’ve had a few internet dating disasters in the past. He’d also suggested a game of squash which I’d never played before.

Josh turned out to be even nicer in the flesh than his photo. And squash was a great ice-breaker though I was pretty rubbish.

But we had a real laugh and Josh even let me score a few points.

Afterwards we went for a bite to eat and a glass of wine. It was a great date and I’m keeping my fingers crossed we meet for another work-out soon.

THIS WEEK’S TALLY: 12 emails and one date.

POTENTIAL FOR LOVE: A great site for sporty singles, or just those who like a fit man.

DATE UPDATE: After my great day at the races last week, my single friends have all arranged to go again very soon.

Boss Fabio Capello gave the Chelsea captain a dressing down over his behaviour ahead of tonight’s friendly in France.

And when asked why he had overlooked Terry, he said: “I don’t have to explain my decisions to anyone.

“We need to be role models when we play for England and for our clubs.

“Part of this involves fair play and respect towards the referee and the public who come to see the games.

‘Terry has a chance’

“In that respect, we need to get back something we may be losing a bit.”

Capello has stressed to Terry that displays of dissent to referees similar to his antics at Spurs last week will not be tolerated.

The Three Lions chief added: “A captain must be an example to follow in training and a leader during the game.

“And, of course, I would hope he could be an example, a role model outside the game as well — in life.

“That’s very important. Not just for the England captain but for everything that we, as sportsmen, show youngsters. He has to be an example.”

Terry was made full-time England skipper by previous boss Steve McClaren in August 2006 and has led his country on 13 occasions since then.

But he was out injured for Capello’s first game against Switzerland last month when Steven Gerrard was given the armband.

Capello has made no promises that Terry will be restored to the role in the future.

But he did admit: “I will rotate the captain and I will name a permanent one in August. Until then, John Terry has a chance to become England captain.”

The Italian has clearly forgiven Ferdinand for his missed drugs test in 2004 which saw him banned for eight months.

Capello said: “The past is the past. From watching Rio play and in training, I’ve seen a very good professional. He can be a very good England captain.”

Alex Ferguson last night backed Capello’s decision.

The Manchester United boss said: “He wouldn’t have captained my side if he wasn’t capable of captaining England, I can assure you of that.

“Experience is important in the England role and Rio has more than 50 caps.”

The Arsenal boss heads a pack chasing the Fiorentina star, 20, with Newcastle among many other clubs on his tail.

Kuzmanovic, who holds a Swiss passport, signed from Basel for around £2million a year back.

Gunners representatives are understood to have flown out already to meet officials of the Italian club to thrash out a deal.

I’m 17 and I’m still at school. My boyfriend is 19. He’s six foot two and an IT whiz. I’ve fancied him ever since we got chatting in a pub six months ago. He had a girlfriend then but he’s dumped her since and we’ve been together for a month.

I know he had sex with his ex, in fact I’ve heard he’s a bit of a stud – and that makes me worried.

What if he has sex with me and I don’t measure up? If I don’t have sex I know he’ll get bored and leave.

Maybe I’m making a big deal of it – I know lots of my friends have had sex and they say it’s nothing to get worked up about.

Is the first time supposed to be special, or is that just in the movies? This guy is gorgeous and I don’t want to lose him.

DEIDRE SAYS: He may be special to you but he’s not making you feel the same. If he cared enough you wouldn’t be feeling under pressure like this.

Forget what your friends say and trust your own feelings. Yes, the first time is supposed to be special, and every other time too. Compromise now and you risk setting a pattern for the rest of your life.

You haven’t been with this guy long and you don’t feel secure in his love. The right relationship is well worth the wait – when you feel cherished and loved and sure of your feelings. So hold on for a bit and don’t let him rush you.

My free leaflet on Learning About Relationships will help you make the right decision for you.

I’m a male aged 17 and I always knew I was different.

My step-dad didn’t treat me in the same way as my two brothers and two sisters.

I never knew what it really was but I felt he didn’t love me like he loved the others.

He always had a bad temper.

The other kids would get into trouble as often as I did but he took things a step further with me.

He’d sometimes hold my head in a sink of water if I misbehaved.

I went away on a school trip when I was 13 and when I came back, my sisters couldn’t wait to tell me that my parents had argued one night and it had all come out that he wasn’t my real dad.

I was heartbroken even though he’d never treated me well.

As soon as I was 16 I left home and moved into a hostel.

Not a night has gone by when I haven’t thought about my real dad.

I really want to find him but I’ve had trouble getting started.

He doesn’t even know that I’m alive. I know his name and that he lives in Scotland.

I’ve sent some letters to the area where I think he lives, but they’ve been returned.

I’ve found some websites that are supposed to help you find lost relatives but they all cost loads of money – which I can’t afford.

Where do I go from here?

DEIDRE SAYS: What a sad story. You had a miserable childhood and of course you long to find your biological father whom you hope will love you to bits and make you feel wanted.

But if you find him, it may come as quite a shock to him to find he has a son he didn’t even know about – and he may not have good memories of how his relationship with your mother ended.

I don’t want you to feel hurt and rejected again.

I am going to send you my free email leaflet on how to set about tracing lost friends and relatives but I also want you to get some understanding help to heal your emotional wounds.

Your step-father abused you as a child and that always casts a long shadow.

Contact Get Connected who can put you in touch with the right sort of counsellor in your area (0808 808 4994, www.getconnected.org.uk).

Do you get on well enough with your mum to ask her for more details about your father?

She may be able to give you an insight into his personality so you have a feeling of how he may react.

Good luck. Do let me know how you get on.
