Fernando Alonso moved upto second place following some great laps at the start of the race in his resurgent Ferrari but even the Spaniard couldn’t match Vettel and his Red Bull. Lewis Hamilton, who started the race from pole position finished in third place after losing his lead during the opening lap of the race..The race also saw a group from Save the Arctic protesting against Shell’s oil digging in the Arctic.
