Sebastian Vettel leads Red Bull stampede at Malaysian GP

Triple F1 World Champion Sebastian Vettel won the Malaysian GP on Sunday to get his team and himself the first win of the season. It was also a Red Bull 1-2 with team mate Mark Webber finishing second and Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton in third.

The German who started on pole position like he did in the Australian GP a week ago managed to lead after the first corner from Fernando Alonso who suffered a retirement due to a broken front plate.

The race saw the lead go to Mark Webber in the middle and Lewis Hamilton who went to the wrong pit garage stopping at former team McLaren rather than his new team Mercedes was in second position after an undercut on pit stops.

However, in the final leg of the race Vettel came back strongly to overtake both Hamilton who was on a save fuel mission and teammate Mark Webber to take the race lead and later the win.

The win means that Vettel who was third in Australia leads the F1Driver's Championship with 40 points from Kimi Raikkonen and Mark Webber.
