The cars just seem to be too equal. With two long straights you would think there would be more passing. Not to be. Vettel, who started out on the pole, took off like a rocket, but it was not for him to win this one. Out by the second turn due to a flat tire. By the time he limped around the 5.5 km to the pits he was already two laps behind.

With Massa not around for Hamilton to run into, or visa-versa since they have made contact with each other 17 times this season, Hamilton became the clear winner from the beginning. Alonso came in second with Button in the third slot. Mark Webber had a clear shot for third, but was forced to make a pit stop in the last lap by some crazy rule. He still managed fourth.

SALT FLAT TIME

ELECTRIC CAR BY BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY

Speed demons have been making pilgrimages to Bonneville since the early 1900s, when "Terrible" Teddy Tezlaff drove an open-cockpit car 141.7 mph. By the 1960s, jet-powered machines that look like ground-skimming rocket ships were breaking 600. The former lake is located off Interstate 80 along the Utah and Nevada border. The vast expanse has no trees or shelter, but is partially covered by a layer of naturally occurring salt. The surface on the salt is hard and flat. There are miles to reach extreme speeds and, more importantly , slow back down with the aid of rear parachutes. The area is public land, so anyone can enter official events like Speed Week or World of Speed and drive most anything, as long as the vehicle passes safety inspections.
