Uhhh, right, United States GP post-race stats, sorry for the massive delay but better late than never! Vettel won again making it eight in a row.
Nobody else has won eight consecutive races in a single F1 season, Alberto Ascari once won nine in a row, but that was over two seasons and there was an Indy 500 in the middle. Romain Grosjean finished the race in second place, his sixth of the season. Third place was Mark Webber and the fastest lap went to the race winner, who did more doughnuts at the end of the race.
Heikki Kovalainen returned to Lotus after driving for them in his first season when they were still named Renault. But he finished 14th and set a new record after going 62 races since last scoring a point in F1. Fellow Finn Valtteri Bottas scored his first points in F1, he set the quickest lap in Q1, qualified ninth and then finished eighth. Bottas set the third fastest lap of the race, which was a full 2.5 seconds quicker than his more experienced teammate Pastor Maldonado.
Not much has really changed, Hamilton took third place back from Raikkonen and Bottas moved ahead of teammate Maldonado.
