Red Bull gives you wins

Rainmeister Sebastian Vettel led his team mate Mark Webber home to take the chequered flag in China and claim Red Bull Racing's first ever victory.

The 21 year-old German had the perfect weekend, starting from pole position and building a commanding lead before his first pitstop. With the poor weather causing deep rivers of water across parts of the track, drivers found it a real challenge to find grip, survive aquaplaning and have any visibility at all due to the spray.

The first eight laps of the race were held under the safety car, which ruined Fernando Alonso's strategy. The Spaniard had started on the front row alongside Vettel, but was forced to pit on Lap 7 and return to the back of the field.

The two Brawn cars swapped places when Rubens Barrichello went wide at one corner, but while both he and Button had more fuel on board they didn't have the pace to capitalize on it before the safety car reappeared, due to Robert Kubica smashing into and over the top of Jarno Trulli.

Vettel's race was threatened when he was hit from behind by Toro Rosso's Sebastien Buemi, but miraculously the leader's car was undamaged.

Button leapfrogged Webber in the pitstops and the pair had a thrilling battle for second, trading places twice before Webber overtook the championship leader on the outside. Afterwards, the Australian described it as the best move of his career. He went on to take his finest finishing position so far.

McLaren picked up seven championship points, having benefited from Adrian Sutil flying into the barriers at high speed five laps before the end. It had been a commendable drive from the Force India driver, the team yet to score a point in its history.

Ferrari suffered a dreadful race, with Kimi Raikkonen finishing an anonymous 12^th and Felipe Massa grinding to a halt with an electric throttle sensor problem.

This was Vettel's second win, having become the sport's youngest winner at Monza last year driving for Red Bull's sister team, Toro Rosso. He should now be considered a serious title contender.
