There was much written on the run up to this weekends race about whether the Buddh International Circuit would be finished on time and if it was would it be run effectively. Aside from a stray dog and a few bags of cement it was a resounding success.

Saturdays qualifying had an air of predictability as Vettel took pole, the McLaren's and Ferrari's struggled to match the pace of Red bull and Lewis Hamilton was peanalised my the stewards.

The Race brought yet another win for Vettel bringing his tally for the season to 11. Jenson Button had a fantastic start but could not close the gap on the German and finished second. Once again Hamilton and Massa came into contact with each other although astonishingly on this occasion it was Masa that was penalised.

The real winner this weekend was India, they have managed to build a spectacular circuit that is destined to be a favourite on the F 1 circuit. A special mention should go to Vijay Mallya who always believed in an Indian Grand Prix and made it his goal to make it happen, well done Vijay, you can be very proud.

Indian Grand Prix winners

Seb Vettel - Another great race

India - A great addition to the F1 calendar 

Vijay Mallya - Not such a great race for Force India but for him the race was about so much more.

Indian Grand Prix losers

Filipe Massa - Once again he stormed off without speaking to the press.

Eddie Jordan - Traditional Indian dress must have seemed like a really good idea at the time.

Best bit

The appropriateness of the tributes to Dan Wheldon and Marco Simoncelli.
