Finally, Vettel wins !!! I truly felt that he deserved a win after the dissapointments in the first 2 races where he should have won as well. Yesterday's Malaysian GP, he led from start to finish, did nothing wrong. It was a superb drive from him, a very good race :)
Our Malaysia backed Lotus team however did quite badly given that they were behind both Hispania HRT as well as Virgin Racing team...need to work harder man...
Sebastian Vettel led Mark Webber in a 1-2 finish for Red Bull at the Malaysian Grand Prix on Sunday, claiming an overdue victory after mechanical failures cost him wins in the opening two Formula One races.
Vettel passed pole-sitter Webber in the run to the first corner and held that lead throughout, with Nico Rosberg finishing third for Mercedes as forecast rain stayed away from the Sepang circuit.
Renault's Robert Kubica was fourth and Force India's Adrian Sutil took fifth.
McLaren pair Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button fought their way through the field from rear grid positions to finish sixth and eighth respectively, either side of Ferrari's Felipe Massa.
Massa leads the championship by two points from Vettel and Ferrari's Fernando Alonso, who would have topped the standings but for an engine failure on the penultimate lap as he attempted an ambitious passing move on Button.
Red Bull's victory Sunday meant it was the first time in 20 years that three different teams had won the opening three races of a championship.
The closeness of the competition was reflected in the standings, with the top seven drivers separated by only nine points.
Toro Rosso's Jaime Alguersuari and Williams' Nico Hulkenberg were ninth and 10th respectively, with both earning their first F1 points.
Mercedes' Michael Schumacher retired on the 10th lap with a wheelnut failure, Williams' Rubens Barrichello was slow off the start line and never in contention for the points, and Sauber's Pedro de la Rosa was affected by an engine failure on the installation lap.
