The race began with Kimi Räkkönen's retirement, the Lotus driver falling foul of backmarker chaos. At the front, Webber's poor start saw both Vettel and Rosberg get past him. He managed to retake the position from the Mercedes, but no one could get near Sebastian. With half a second lead at the end of the race, he was in a world of his own.
