Sebastian Vettel beats McLaren in Abu Dhabi

The pilots McLaren will have anticipated Sebastian Vettel until Q3 but Lewis Hamilton did not manage to achieve the same time as in Q2 (1: best time of the weekend) and lost by less than 38 tenths against the double world champion who will once again start in pole in Abu Dhabi (his 434th of the season) and who seems well on his way to winning his 2rd consecutive victory on the Yas Marina circuit.

He will still have to be wary of the British who will seek to take the advantage tomorrow at the start, Lewis Hamilton starting from 2nd place ahead of his teammate Jenson Button. Mark Webber (Red Bull) will have to ensure his start from 4th position if he does not want to be overtaken by Fernando Alonso (Ferrari), 5th ahead of his teammate Felipe Massa. Mercedes holds his place with Nico Rosberg 7th in front Michael Schumacher. Force India once again places its two drivers in the top ten on the grid with Adrian Sutil ahead of Paul di Resta.

The start of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will be given tomorrow at 14 p.m.
