Maldonado's win, in just his 24th race, was also the team's first victory since the 2004 Brazilian Grand Prix and came on the weekend of team founder Frank Williams' 70th birthday. He later carried his young cousin to safety after the team garage was engulfed by flames, injuring 16 people. On the track the Venezuelan produced a flawless race, holding off Alonso. Raikkonen was third.
