RAIKKONEN SECOND - SCHUMACHER THIRD (HIS FIRST PODIUM SINCE HIS RETURN!)
And here's the story - Alonso, from 11th to first - HE WINS THE EUROPEAN GRAND PRIX!!
Yellow flags in the final moments as Schumacher chased by Webber. What a finish. What a race.
Maldonado went into the side of Hamilton having just been off the racing line. Hamilton is FURIOUS.
That looked like Maldonado's fault - he's lost his front wing and his podium finish too - it's SCHUMACHER COMING THROUGH FOR THIRD!
HAMILTON OUT! HE'S HIT MALDONADO!
Hamilton is surely going to lose his podium finish here - his rear tyres have given up two laps too soon.
Now the headache for Hamilton is Maldonado! They're side-by-side as the penultimate lap starts!
Looks like Hamilton's tyres have gone... AND RAIKKONEN IS THROUGH!
RAIKKONEN SO NEARLY AHEAD OF HAMILTON! The Finn is now on the charge!
Maldonado only 2.2 seconds behind Raikkonen. There is a podium place there for the taking...
Di Resta cannot stop Schumacher - into sixth he goes! Webber is not far behind...
Down in the battle for P15, Massa has been passed by Petrov - looks like a problem for the Ferrari.
Schumacher looking good for a very strong finish to this race. He's right on the back of Di Resta almost immediately.
Schumacher making more progress - he's ahead of Perez, and Webber following - have his tyres gone too?
Button's dropped about five seconds behind Webber in tenth - he has about five seconds of a cushion on Rosberg for the final point.
Looks like we won't have another different winner this season, but we've still been treated to a thrilling race. And it's not over. Alonso losing a little time on Hamilton here.
Hamilton clsoing up on Alonso, but loses time through the final turn after running a little wide.
Raikkonen's best chance appears to have passed. He's dropping back. Hamilton 3.5s shy of Alonso. Is there a final twist in this race?
