Post-race Statistics of the 2013 Abu Dhabi GP

Since turn one, Vettel led every lap and won the race by a full 30 seconds. That takes him up to seven consecutive race wins.

Vettel is only the third man to win seven consecutive races, Alberto Ascari being the first and Michael Schumacher the second. Mark Webber started the race from pole position, equalling Jack Brabham’s Australian record of 13 F1 pole positions, and finished the race in second. This gave Red Bull their 15^th 1-2 finish. Nico Rosberg finished on the podium again and Fernando Alonso took the fastest lap.

Kimi Raikkonen retired on the first lap after being excluded from qualifying and starting the race in 22^nd place. This was his first first lap retirement since the 2006 United States GP. Much like in India, Sutil opted for a one stop strategy, taking him up seven places, from 17^th on the grid to 10^th.

Mark Webber has finally reached 1000 points in F1, only the sixth man to do so and the first non-European.

Absolutely nothing has changed, nothing, no changes in the Constructors’ either.
