SEPANG, Malaysia - Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber earned a hard-fought one-two victory for Red Bull at the 2013 Malaysian Grand Prix.
During the final stages of the race the Red Bull duo were battling each other for first place. Webber doggedly held onto his lead throughout the race but was eventually passed by team mate Vettel, who earns his 27th career win and his third Malaysian GP victory.
MERCEDES BATTLE FOR THIRD
Mercedes drivers Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg fought throughout the race in the battle for third. Rosberg told team boss Ross Brawn that he was quicker than Hamilton and requested to pass. "Negative" was Brawn's response claiming that he wanted to bring both cars over the finish line.
Hamilton ultimately trumped his team mate for third place while Rosberg finished in fourth. Hamilton caused a few chuckles at the 2013 Malaysian Grand Prix when he accidentally pulled into the pits of his former team McLaren.
Ferrari's Felipe Massa finished in fifth place, the only Ferrari driver to cross the finish line.
Lotus driver Romain Grosjean beat team mate Kimi Raikkonen for sixth place. Raikkonen, winner of the season-opening Australian grand prix, had a disappointing weekend in Sepang managing to finish in seventh.
NIGHTMARE FOR ALONSO
Fernando Alonso's 200th Formula 1 race proved disastrous as the Ferrari driver crashed out on the second lap of the Malaysian Grand Prix.
Alonso started from third on the grid and damaged his front wing when he nudged pole-sitter Sebastian Vettel on turn two as he fought for the lead. Alonso slid into the run off area and was forced to retire.
DISASTER STRIKES FORCE INDIA
Force India had a disastrous grand prix weekend in Sepang, in stark contrast to Adrian Sutil's superb comeback in Australia. Sutil was forced to retire as Force India mechanics attempted to solve his tyre issues. Team mate Paul Di Resta was also forced to retire on lap 24 with similar problems.
Williams' Pastor Maldonado retired from the race on lap 47 of 56.
