Optimum Sports: Lewis Hamilton of McLaren won the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on Sunday as Sebastian Vettel's luck unusually seem to run out - celebrating his Mother's birthday with the top podium place that has eluded him for most of the
season. The McLaren driver was on hand to make the most of the spin Vettel suffered exiting the very first corner of the race at the Yas Marina Circuit. Vettel suffered a
right rear puncture and was forced to retire for the first time this season, meaning the world champion's attempt to match Michael Schumacher's record of 13 victories in a single season is now at an end. Hamilton's win was his third of 2011 but much-needed in the context of an otherwise difficult season for the 26-year-old, who has been criticised for his involvement in a number of collisions. The 2008 world champion took the chequered flag comfortably ahead of Ferrari's Fernando Alonso, with Hamilton's team-mate Jenson Button claiming the final podium place. Red Bull's Mark Webber finished fourth ahead of Ferrari's Felipe Massa, with Mercedes GP's Nico Rosberg sixth in front of team-mate Schumacher. Force India pair Adrian Sutil and Paul di Resta finished eighth and ninth respectively, with Sauber's Kamui Kobayashi claiming the final world championship point.
