Lewis Hamilton clinched a clinical victory for McLaren in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix after a puncture ended Sebastian Vettel’s race on the opening lap. Hamilton ended a victory drought stretching back to July by prevailing at the Yas Marina in what was a faultless drive after world champion Vettel retired on the very first lap due to tyre damage. Fernando Alonso was a close second for Ferrari, with Jenson Button completing the podium despite KERS issues on his McLaren. Vettel had surged into a clear lead from pole at the first corner, but just one bend later his Red Bull was slewing into a wild spin as its right rear tyre deflated.
