Sebastian Vettel was delighted to win the Indian Grand Prix, but afterwards reflected on the recent deaths of two racing drivers in accidents.


IndyCar driver Dan Wheldon was killed due to a crash two weeks ago, before MotoGP star Marco Simoncelli died following an on-track incident last weekend.

"I've a little bit of mixed emotions," said Formula 1 champion Vettel after he held off McLaren's Jenson Button for victory in India.

"I'm very proud to be the first winner of the Grand Prix in India, but then on the other hand, looking back, we lost two of our mates.


"I didn't know Dan Wheldon, but he was big in motorsport. Then this year I got to know Marco Simoncelli, so our thoughts are with them at the moment."

Pole-sitter Vettel led from lights to flag to take a commanding win on Sunday.

"It was a very good race for us," he said. "I enjoyed the time in the lead.

"I had a little bit of a fight with Jenson. He was always about four seconds behind, but strangely kept closing in at the pit stops, so we need to understand that.

"All in all it was a very smooth race, the car was well balanced." - http://www.setanta.com
