Well, I guess I can honestly say I never saw that happening. Sebastian Vettel’s tire blows out all on its own in the second corner, and it’s Hamilton who is off to the races. He made his lead and strategy insurmountable, and bagged himself his third victory of the season. With Alonso coming home a strong second, followed by Button, it really is going to be all about who gets that coveted second position in the driver’s standings. That is what I’ll be watching for in a couple of weeks at the season finale in Brazil. Until then, here are the final points paying positions for an otherwise pretty typical race. Honestly, if Vettel doesn’t retire, my lineup for finishing position looks pretty solid.
1. Lewis Hamilton
2. Fernando Alonso
3. Jenson Button
4. Mark Webber
5. Felipe Massa
6. Nico Rosberg
7. Micheal Schumacher
8. Adrian Sutil
9. Paul di Resta
10. Kamui Kobayashi
