Abu Dhabi Grand Prix: Sebastian Vettel heads Red Bull one-two, Jenson Button is third




It was a spectacular end to a truly spectacular season. As a helicopter tracked the action from above, showing off the dazzling Yas Marina circuit in all its neon-lit glory, the crowd rose to their feet to applaud new world champion Jenson Button going wheel-to-wheel with Mark Webber.

They may only have been fighting for second place – victory went instead to Webber’s Red Bull team mate Sebastian Vettel, his fourth of an impressive season – and Button may not have made the move stick, but it sent 50,000 race goers off into the desert night chattering excitedly about an event that for a long time looked like being a billion-dollar procession.

The circuit may not have won universal approval from racing purists but it was enough for now. The most expensive Formula One race in history could be classified a success.
