Finn Kovalainen capitalised on Brazilian Massa's misfortune to finish ahead of podium debutant Toyota's Timo Glock of Germany [Images] with Massa's team mate Kimi Raikkonen [Images] third.
McLaren's Lewis Hamilton [Images] stayed top of the championship standings despite a puncture just after the midway stage that saw him finish the race in fifth place behind Renault driver and former team mate Fernando Alonso [Images] of Spain.
Briton Hamilton now holds a five-point lead over Finland's Raikkonen in the championship with Massa dropping into third place, a further three points back.
