Re: F1:U.S. Grand Prix
Lewis Hamilton wins F1 US Gp in Texas .Now goes to the final race in Brazil to see who wins championship .
Sebastian Vettel again began in pole position, followed by Lewis Hamilton, Mark Webber, Kimi Raikkonen and Schumacher in No.5 position. Ferrari, opted for a 5 place penalty for Filipe Massa with a breaking the gearbox seal penalty in a quest to give Fernando Alonso a fighting chance that let him begin on the clean side of the track to keep to his goal of acquiring more points in order to inch closer to Sebastian Vettel's championship points. Alonso finshed the race in 3rd place and now the point difference between Vettel and Alonso has been reduced to 13 points.
Lewis Hamilton's 109th Grand Prix start resulted in his 23rd win. It was Vettel's 100th GP, and he crossed the line 2nd. Nico Hulkenberg secured 4 points with his 8th place finish. Schumacher dropped to 16th place or Mercedes AMG Petronas by race end. Michael Schumacher will retire from Formula one at the end of this season and he will be replaced by McLaren's Lewis Hamilton from next year. Schumacher, seven time world champion, was earlier linked with a move to Sauber for 2013 but has decided to end his F1 career which started in 1991.
