First turn And he's got the win already pending something going wrong with the car.And I'd expect nothing but Vettel taking an early lead
Great race, was a bit worried when the engineers kept telling Vettel he was down to the cords. Had me all kinds of nervous thinking he would get a flat right at the end

FERRARI EXTENDS MASSA'S CONTRACT THROUGH 2013
[emoji]169[/emoji] AP, 16 October 2012
MARANELLO, Italy (AP) -- Ferrari has extended Felipe Massa's contract for one more season with the Formula 1 team.
The Italian squad made the announcement Tuesday, saying it has renewed the Brazilian's deal "to the end of the 2013 race season."
The move comes two days after Massa's fourth-place finish in the Korean Grand Prix.
Massa also finished fourth in the Italian GP last month, then took second in the Japanese Grand Prix eight days ago for his first podium result in nearly two years.
Still, Massa hasn't won a race since a life-threatening accident at the Hungarian Grand Prix in 2009. He is ninth in the drivers' standings.
His previous deal was due to expire at the end of this season.

David Coulthard to retire from motor racing after DTM finale
By Jamie O'Leary Thursday, October 18th 2012, 09:00 GMT
David Coulthard will retire from motor racing following this weekend's DTM season finale at Hockenheim.
The 41-year-old Briton, whose career included 13 Formula 1 World Championship race wins for McLaren and Williams, and has competed in the DTM for Mercedes since 2010, wants to dedicate his time to other things
"This weekend will be my final race at this level," Coulthard said. "Now I'm going to concentrate on developing my off-track businesses and, of course, spending more time with my family.
"I want to thank Norbert Haug and Mercedes Motorsport for providing me with this opportunity and the sponsors for allowing the Wings for Life Foundation to have space on the car, which has helped raise awareness and funding for research into spinal cord injuries."
Coulthard made his car racing debut in 1989 in Formula Ford 1600 and won both British championships plus the inaugural McLaren AUTOSPORT BRDC Award.
Race-winning campaigns in Formula Vauxhall Lotus and F3 - including the prestigious Masters and Macau races - paved the way for a test role with the Williams F1 team.
The death of Ayrton Senna at Imola in '94 gave Coulthard a shot at the big time with Williams, and he took his first F1 win for the team in Portugal in '95.
A move to McLaren for '96 was the catalyst for 12 more victories plus the runner-up spot in the world championship in 2001.
After moving to Red Bull for '05, he gave the team its maiden podium finish and eventually ended his F1 career in Brazil three years later after racking up 246 starts; a total only bettered by four other drivers.
Since quitting F1 Coulthard has combined his broadcasting role with the BBC's coverage of the sport with his DTM race drive and ambassadorial roles with AMG and Red Bull. The latter two positions will be retained.
Mercedes motorsport vice-president Norbert Haug said: "David is our first F1 winner of the modern era and that victory on 9th March 1997 in Melbourne ensures his place in our motorsport history.
"David drove successfully for us and our partner McLaren during nine Formula 1 seasons, and still today he is one of the most popular racing drivers in the world.
"David's involvement in the DTM has been good for him and for the championship - he is skilled on the race track, and eloquent and analytical in his TV work and as an AMG brand ambassador.
"He has been a successful member of the Mercedes family for over a decade and a half, and will remain so after his retirement from active racing.
"An abbreviation from the racing world best summarises what I want to say to David on behalf of everybody: TD - but this time, it stands for 'Thanks, David'."
New Jersey Grand Prix to be postponed until 2014
By Jonathan Noble Friday, October 19th 2012, 08:30 GMT
Formula 1's inaugural race in New Jersey, originally scheduled for next year, has been postponed until 2014.
Following recent doubts about progress being made at the track ahead of its planned first event in June 2013, local officials have revealed that an official announcement is expected on Friday to say it is being put back.
According to a report in the Jersey Journal, Weehawken Mayor Richard Turner said that race organisers were behind in both preparations for the race and in obtaining the necessary permits.
F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone later confirmed to Eurosport that the event was being put off - which now leaves a vacant slot in the calendar.
"It is not going to happen next year," Ecclestone said. "If they came up with the contract with us and we were satisfied the question is could they carry out the work in six months? Winter in New York is not good."
The New Jersey event had been scheduled to take place on June 16, just a week after the Canadian Grand Prix.
However, in the most recent calendar published by the FIA, it was only added subject to confirmation.
Due to the flyaway nature of Montreal, it is unlikely that Ecclestone will slot in a replacement in the gap before the next race - which is the British GP on June 30.
That could mean that next year's calendar drops to 19 events, although there have been rumours in recent weeks that Ecclestone could be looking at resurrecting the Turkish Grand Prix.
