2010 ABU DHABI GRAND PRIX // RACE RESULTS

On Sunday, Sebastian Vettel collected his fifth victory of the 2010 season and his first Formula One World Championship. The German driver, who started from pole (for the tenth time this season, I might add), pulled away from the field on the first lap and never looked back. Fernando Alonso, who had been leading the drivers championship heading into the final race at Abu Dhabi, fell behind the Renault of Vitaly Petrov and was unable to pass the Russian driver. Alonso would go on to finish 7th, effectively handing the drivers championship to Vettel. Finishing second was Lewis Hamilton followed shortly thereafter by his McLaren teammate, Jenson Button.
