SEBASTIAN VETTEL - 2ND, LEWIS HAMILTON - 1ST, FERNANDO ALONSO - 3RD
Hooray! Back in the USA! Texas, at that. So, many of the new tracks are boring, but this track seems to be very nice. The race was interesting to a jam-packed crowd. In the traditional cowboy hat, Hamilton was very happy to have won today. He was the winner of the last US Formula One race at Indy five years ago. In second was Sebastian Vettel, who is still leading in the Championship points by 13. Alonso finished third and is looking for the Championship fight to continue and end in Brazil next week
Vettel had the pole spot and Alonso was in 9th. Grosjean got a five-spot penalty which moved Alonso to 8th. His teammate, Massa, was in front of him. Ferrari, who is always full of dirty tricks, broke the seal on Massa's transmission causing him to receive a 5 place penalty moving Alonso up to 7th on the grid. Ferrari admitted this and should be penalized, but I doubt that will happen. Massa, to his credit, ended up in 4th place. On to Brazil!
