Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso took third place, fading in the final 10 laps and lost his second place to Button.

Sebastian Vettel was fourth ahead of team-mate Mark Webber. The Red Bull pair both led the race at various points but were both hampered by less than ideal tyre strategy.

Webber led the midpoint of the race as the Red Bull Racing team tried to run him as long as possible on the hard tyre, but eventually fell into the grasp of Hamilton and Alonso. By the time he pitted, he dropped to fifth where he remained. The results has dropped the Australian to third in the world title.

Nico Rosberg (Mercedes) took sixth place ahead of Robert Kubica (Renault), Sebastien Buemi (Toro Rosso) and the Force India pair of Tonio Luizzi and Adrian Sutil. Bothe the Force India drivers passed Michael Schumacher (Mercedes) on the final lap to secure points finishes.
