Sebastian Vettel has won the race for the eighth consecutive time, now in the USA, putting his name to a new record in F1. The German stoles Schumacher the record of consecutive wins, and comes close to matching the record of another myth German, Michael Schumacher, who has the biggest number of wins in a season (13).
The other news from the world of F1 is that Fernando Alonso has achieved today once again the second place in the drivers’ world championship. Apparently this is not enough, but to become the second driver with the most points behind the hurricane Vettel has much merit and he did it with a Ferrari that does not measure up for any site, remember that he is one of the few drivers who achieved the runner-up without getting any pole position.
Just behind Vettel finished Romain Grosjean, Mark Webber, Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso and Nico Hulkenberg, these two latter guys have had a spectacular battle that has lasted all this race; behind them Pérez, Bottas who has done a great race, scoring his first points of the season, Nico Rosberg has overtaken to the points and closing the first ten is Jenson Button.
Felipe Massa has not helped much for the Constructor’s championship, finishing the race in 13th position.
