Vettel penalised in German GP

HOCKENHEIM, Germany - Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel was demoted from second to fifth in his home German Grand Prix for leaving the track while overtaking McLaren's Jenson Button on the penultimate lap.

Stewards imposed a 20 second penalty to the Red Bull driver's total race time, which promoted McLaren's Button to second and Lotus driver Kimi Raikkonen to third.
