Lewis Hamilton had an excellent race and finished first

It was initially a cat and mouse game between Hamilton and Webber, with both drivers exciting the fans with their aggressive driving. Hamilton lead the race from the start but momentarily lost his lead to Webber on lap 12 but immediately overtook Australian on turn one. As the race progressed, it was pretty much a battle between Alonso and Hamilton, with Webber fading away for a little while. However in the end Hamilton won it easily.

Another exciting duel took place between Sebastian Vettel and Felipe Massa , the fight for 4th place went till penultimate lap. The 4th place was decided by pit stop strategy of Red Bull and Ferrari, ultimately it was Vettel who wrested the 4th place from Brazilian. Meanwhile, Force India driver Adrian Sutil drove with caution and his 2 pit stop strategy yielded rich dividends as he finished 6th, ahead of the two McLarens (Nico Rosberg and Michael Schumacher were well behind Adrian Sutil). Indian driver Karun Chandhok had a successful outing for Team Lotus as he finished 20th.
