Shocker: Vettel Wins in Abu Dhabi



there's little to say about the race, Vettel won by over 30 seconds and everyone will be reduced to thanking about him doing donuts again as if that will solve F1 problems.

At least he did not get fast lap, Alonso ended the race with the option tires and got thew purple number on his way to P5.

Few incidents,  Kimi Raikkonen starting last ran into a Caterham in the first corner and broke his car.
Sutil and Maldonado got in a scrap, Sutil went off and gained two spots.   Displaying customary consistency the FIA gave no penalty.    The same governing body that gave Grosjean a penalty in Spa will also decide if Alonso should be penalized for not crashing into Vergne's Toro Rosso who was pushing him off the track.
