Indian Grand Prix Results - Formula One

Redbulls Sebastian Vettel becomes the first driver to win the Indian GP.  Vettel led from the start with his only real competitor being Jenson Button who was on his tail for all of the race, and finished in second position ahead of Alonso.

Button made second spot after passing Webber and Alonso on the first lap of the race.

Once again Lewis Hamilton was in the wars when he and Massa collidied while Hamilton tried to overtake Massa.  But this time it was Felipe that was handed the punishment of a drive through penalty.  The collision caused Hamilton to lose a few places after having to make a pit stop to rectify the damage.

Things got even worse for Massa when he broke his suspension as he took one of the kerbs.

Japanese GP Suzuka Results - Formula One

Jenson Button holds on to win the Japanese Gp, with a late surge from Alsonso threatening to take the lead, but Button held on to produce the fastest laps of the GP with just a couple of laps remaining.  It was another great display by Button and once again used his tyres to great effect. Alonso finished in second position with Vettel only managing third spot but taking the drivers championship in the process.

Vettel only needed 1 point from this race to secure the championship for the second time.  There was at no point in the race that it looked like he would not gain that 1 point.
