A pretty quiet and uneventful race for Juan Pablo Montoya in Malaysia saw the Columbian steadily bring his McLaren-Mercedes home in a 'steady' fourth position, gaining five points for the team.

The teams hopes rested on Juan Pablo's shoulders after a race-ending incident for Kimi Raikkonen.

However, Montoya showed no real promise to fight with the top three, Juan Pablo eventually bringing it home half a minute behind third placed man Jenson Button.

The points he scored put him in fifth place in the Drivers' Championship, three points ahead of Raikkonen who is sixth, with 6 points.

McLaren is in second position in the Constructors', already 13 points behind leaders Renault, but on par with Ferrari, who are still under fire about suspected illegal parts on their 248-F1.
