In the sixth series of this race, Vettel demonstrate amazing performance. Imagine, with just one pitstop,world champion 2010 was finish the race with a total time of 2 hours 09 minutes 38.373 seconds. With five times victory out of six series, the top position in the standings while becoming robust with 143 points.

Occupied the second place driver Fernando Alonso of Ferrari. Since lap-60 he tried to suppress Vettel, but the effort stalled until the race was stopped on lap-72. If race is not terminated, result may different

Therefore, one pitstop worn Vettel's tires. But, he could keep the car's speed, especially in the corners. Team Red Bull is right to run its strategy, by using soft compound tires at the beginning and then replace it with a hard on lap 17. Imagine, for 55 laps (until lap 72 when stopped), he was able to maintain the condition of the tires until the finish.
Jenson Button won third place. McLaren racer is up to three times into the pit to use super soft tires. Even had led the race, although eventually had to settle for third podium.

Massa accident, Hamilton penalized

Under the air temperature 42 degrees Celsius, the rider start smoothly without incident at the first corner. Alonso able to poke in the third pass stuck behind Webber and Vettel and Button.

According to the provisions, the first two laps riders are prohibited from using DRS. Locations outside corner use DRS to last crossed the start line. Until the 7th lap, Hamilton was in the order of the 10th kept trying to overtake Schumacher. But the narrowness of the track, making Hamilton who repeatedly provoked movements remain difficult Schumacher bulldoze former seven-times world champion.

While Vettel still leading and Button tried to shorten the distance until lap 14, Alonso was only 1 second further behind Button. On lap 16, Button entered the pit and change tires dropped to fourth position. One lap later followed by Vettel, only he had used hard tire compound that can menempuih 35 more laps. When you sign into the path trajectory so the second position, followed by Alonso on lap 18 and he still ranks third.

Strategy Mclaren doing the earliest change tires on the Button to fruition. He started the race leading 18 laps and Vettel was behind him. Live, on the second Pitstop strategy. Apparently, Button who use super soft tires to maximize the speed of the McLaren tried to leave Vettel 6 seconds more. Even until lap-32 McLaren ahead 13 seconds more than Vettel and secure enough to maintain the first position when entering the pit replace the tire.

On lap 34, Button entered the pit and use super-soft tires again. When entering the orbit, the third displaced position. Safety Car into a lap 35 as Massa beat wall barrier in the tunnel. He was probably surprised because passed by Hamilton from the inside is so insistent, making his car did not have room to dodge. Hamilton's actions made him exposed to drive through penalty that run on lap 44.

Schumacher was also unable to continue the race due to smoke billowing from the engine. Alonso overtaking on the side of the pit straight into the tire change on lap 35. Stay ahead of Vettel who fared less well, because when Pitstop II distance with Button and Alonso are very close.
Safety car entered lap 40, Vettel was in front of the shadowed Button 3 seconds. Lap 48, Vettel stuck in traffic and can Button stick under one second. On lap 49, Button entered the pit get soft tire change, its position displaced by Alonso.
On lap 60, Alonso began to suppress Vettel. While Button was looming duel 5 seconds behind Red Bull and Ferrari. Fun stuff, in lap 63, the distance Vettel, Alonso and Button are sticking together.
The third competition rider who hit each other it stopped on lap 69, when all three are stuck in traffic about four cars ahead of them. Starting from Maldonado (Williams) is overtaking Sutil, but Sutil hit the wall at the bend entry barrier. And then, two other riders have come after that.
