Sebastian Vettel swept into the lead of the race during the first lap and never looked back, taking a strong and reasonably easy victory. Fernando Alonso did the best for his championship challenge by taking a podium position, whilst Paul di Resta, Kimi Räikkönen and Charles Pic all retired from the race. Romain Grosjean was the only driver to complete a one-stop strategy to finish in the points.
