Sebastian Vettel won the inaugural Formula 1 Indian Grand Prix at Greater Noida on October 30.
Racing for the Red Bull Racing-Renault team, Vettel took total control of the race right from start, after he had claimed pole position from Saturday's qualifying session.
The win at the Buddh International Circuit (BIC) was Vettel's 11th win this year and puts him on course to equal the record for the most number of wins in one F1 season, a record currently held by Michael Schumacher from 2004.
The race track at the BIC had been complemented by most of the participating teams for the challenging corners and the width of the track, which were expected to contribute to an exciting race weekend.
However, Vettel proved to be too good for the rest of the competition and despite strong attempts by McLaren's Jenson Button, the champion managed to hold on to his lead easily throughout the 60-lap race. Vettel also set the fastest lap of the race — on the very last lap — for the third time this season.
