Massa celebrates 'amazing' victory

Massa, who last year scored his first pole and his first win in Formula One, repeated the feat after leading Raikkonen from the start.

Despite the Finn's pressure, Massa stayed in control and took his third victory of the year.

"It is amazing," said an emotional Massa. "Really fantastic. I love the track, love the place. Here was where my career made a switch, where I started winning races and fighting with the front-runners.

"It is a special place for me. Having he second win is special, it is difficult to find the right words," added Massa, who had his family at the track.

"It was an emotional podium, the team likes to take this feeling from the people. I am proud to win in front of him and my mother."

Massa's only problem during the race seemed to come when he had to remove a part of his helmet when it broke.

"I had a crack on the cooling system on the helmet and I had a big turbulence and my head was going up and down and I lost concentration and I took it away. I cracked it completely and took it off and it was better," he said.

Massa, 15 points behind championship leader Lewis Hamilton, is now looking to keep the momentum going in Ferrari's home race in Monza.

"It is a very special race for us so hopefully we can repeat the result here for the team, the people, the tifosi. I'm looking forward to the race."
