After this race we have clear definition od first and second driver, and Title contenders into place. It`s now clear Webber, Massa, Rosberg, Grosjean are off limits. Sebastian Vettel with the new victory of his career, taken away from Mark Webber. Again we saw Sebastian Vettel`s caracter as "sissy" when things do not go as you plan.
Just behind them, again team orders were in play. Nico Rosberg was not allowed to pass Lewis Hamilton. The disappointment of the day was Fernando Alonso when trying to pass Sebastian Vettel for first place ended with a damaged front wing. Another looser of the day was Jenson Button, when he was released early from his third pitstop and had to be dragged back for a wheel to be fitted correctly. He was running 12th when he eventually retired with a severe vibration.
