Formula One Update
Sebastian Vettel has won the final round of the 2010 Formula One season in Abu Dhabi and become the youngest ever World Champion.
The result also nets Red Bull the Championship double after they sealed the Constructor’s Championship at the last round in Brazil.
Title contenders Fernando Alonso and Mark Webber both suffered at the hands of poorly timed pit stops, finishing seventh and eighth respectively, in what turned out to be a somewhat anti-climatic race.
McLaren ended their season with a solid second and third place finish for Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button.
The 2011 season will see new cars, new rules, a new tyre sponsor as Bridgestone make way for Pirelli and the re-introduction of the KERS device. As for the continued domination of Red Bull and Vettel, we will have to wait and see.
The final driver standings are as follows:
1. Sebastian Vettel 256
2. Fernando Alonso 252
3. Mark Webber 242
