Post-race Statistics of the Indian GP

Vettel didn’t lead every lap! But he still qualified on pole, won the race and the championship. Six races in a row and if he wins the remaining three he matches Schumacher’s record of most wins in a season.

Romain Grosjean managed to finish in third for the third consecutive race, despite starting all the way back in 17^th on the grid. Grosjean gained a massive 14 places, the most of any driver in any race this season. Nico Rosberg finished the race in second, his third podium of the season and the first time this year he hasn’t stood on the top step.

Fernando Alonso failed to score points in the Indian GP, his first non-scoring race since Malaysia. Which was another race where he damaged his front wing on the first lap. Kimi Raikkonen stole the fastest lap on the final lap thanks to a late pit stop, lapping almost half a second quicker than Sebastian Vettel.

Grosjean and Sutil both used a one stop strategy, with Sutil lasting 19 laps on the soft tyre. Some bloke named Vettel apparently also won his fourth consecutive drivers’ championship, the fourth driver to win four titles and the only one that has won his first four in consecutive years.

A few little switches in the championship standings after the Indian GP, Grosjean has moved up to seventh ahead of Massa, di Resta has moved back ahead of Hulkenberg and Perez has passed Sutil for 12^th. In the constructors’, Mercedes have jumped back ahead of Ferrari for second, Lotus could also join in the fight.
