It was the race in which Sebastian Vettel the championship could continue. He had a moment to win and Fernando Alonso outside the top eight. But managed to do so?
Sebastian Vettel started not from the lead, as his Red Bull team-mate Mark Webber with a qualifying time of 1.30,915 faster than the 26 year old German, and thus the first place if taking. Vettel seems to be Saturday, even with a not optimal operating CHERRY to have ridden, that’s why.

It was his 3rd race this season in which the finish line was not reached.
