Valtteri Bottas is rapidly laying claim to be Formula One's fastest Finn after again eclipsing Kimi Raikkonen on his way to a third successive podium appearance for Williams on Sunday.

The 24-year-old's impressive second place, from the front row of the German Grand Prix grid, was his team's 300th podium finish and contrasted with 2007 champion Raikkonen's disappointing 11th for Ferrari.

The points also allowed resurgent Williams to leapfrog Ferrari into third place overall in the constructors' standings.
