Red Bull F1 pilot Sebastian Vettel leads from start to finish to extend his lead in the title race to 13 points with Fernando Alonso second and Mark Webber third.
Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel had a lonely race from pole to the chequered flag at the Indian Grand Prix as the German took another step towards a Formula One title hat-trick. Vettel got his fourth victory in a row, a first for him, ahead of title rival Fernando Alonso of Ferrari and Mark Webber of Red Bull, who had to relinquish second place late in the race with problems with the Kers power boost system.
Alonso led Vettel by 39 points but the German turned the deficit into a 13—point lead into the final three races with victories in Singapore, Japan, South Korea and India.
Vettel has 240 points to Alonso’s 227, with Kimi Raikkonen of Lotus (173) and Webber (167) with only a mathematical chance. McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton (165) and Jenson Button (141) are now officially out of the title race after coming fourth and fifth, respectively.
