Vettel did not overtaken until the lap number 16. He even left Webber and Rosberg far enough. Alonso, in the early laps was thrown from the top ten, start heating the competition. This Spaniard managed to overtake until the ninth position.
Vettel decided to change a tire on lap 24. As a result, his position was taken over by Webber. Likewise with Rosberg. Unexpectedly, Hamilton continues to explode and ranks third, trailing Vettel in front of him. But, this composition did not last long. Vettel back in front when Webber went to pit.
In the last 10 laps, Felipe Massa battle shown, Jenson Button, and Alonso fight for position seventh. Alonso continued to stick to Button who was in front of him. Bad luck for Alonso, while only one lap race left. Alonso was forced to retired due to engine problems. How bad.
