In-form Grosjean beats Webber to second; Frustrated
Hamilton comes home fourth; Bottas scores first points in F1; Ousted Perez
impresses.
Sebastian Vettel set a new Formula 1 record - and moved
to the brink of equalling two more - for the most consecutive victories in a
single season with his eighth win on the spin in the United States GP.
With the brilliant German's fourth championship long
since sewn up, Vettel, even though he might not admit it, has been able to
focus on record-collecting during the final weeks of his sensational season and
the first landmark fell in Austin on Sunday as he became the first man to win
eight straight events in one calendar year.
Vettel's margin of victory may not have been as crushing
as in Abu Dhabi a fortnight ago - just six seconds over Lotus's Romain Grosjean
- but as so often in the German's unstoppable run since the summer break he saw
off the challengers into the first corner and wasn't seen by the pack
thereafter.
