Raikkonen had to abandon the San Marino GP at Imola and the European GP at Nuernburgring. He was leading both.

In his previous two races, he suffered engine failures in practice and was penalized 10 places on the starting grid. He still managed second place in France and third in Britain.

"It seems I've had my share of bad luck this season," Raikkonen said.

Button had his best finish of the season, coming in third.

"It was a lot of fun. Michael got in front of me at the start when I went wide in the first corner and it's so difficult to get past on this circuit.

"Michael is not the easiest person to overtake," Button said.

Schumacher, a three-time winner at Hockenheim, gained two places at the start but couldn't hold on.

Button overtook him in a corner on Lap 45 and Fisichella surged past on the final lap.

Schumacher dominated last season to win his seventh Formula One championship, but his Ferrari has been underachieving this year.

"It was more or less what we expected," Schumacher said of his fifth place.

"I struggled a lot with my tires today, which is why I could not hold off Jenson and I had a fuel-feed problem when Giancarlo got past me," he said.

The Hungarian GP is next weekend, followed by a three-week break before the Turkish GP in Istanbul.
