Sebastian Vettel ran a dominant race Sunday on the way to winning the inaugural Formula One Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Vettel, driving a Renault, and Red Bull teammate Mark Webber (Renault) finished 1-2 at the recently-built Yas Marina Circuit at Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Sunday’s victory, Vettel’s fourth this season, was aided by pole-winner Lewis Hamilton (McLaren Mercedes), the 2008 F1 champion, who bowed out for the first time in racing career after experiencing early brake failure. "It’s a perfect day to finish the season on a high," said Vettel, who with Michael Schumacher, are the only drivers from Germany to win four times in a single season. The 2009 F1 champion, Jenson Button (Brawn GP Mercedes), finished third after making up a sizable deficit in the closing laps. Rubens Barrichello (Brawn GP Mercedes) and Nick Heidfeld (BMW Sauber) completed the Top Five finishers. |
