Fernando Alonso wins the German Grand Prix, as Vettel is investigated

Fernando Alonso has won the German Grand Prix at Hockenheim, taking his 3rd win of the season and extending his championship lead.

Sebastian Vettel managed to battle Jenson Button  towards the very end of the race, as Button looked to seal the deal in 2nd place, before the German made a move on the outside of the hairpin, a move that could be controversial, as Vettel passed Button outside the track. This is under investigation. Still, for now the results stands, as Kimi Raikkonen made it 4th for Lotus, Kamui Kobayashi and Sergio Perez finished 5th and 6th, with Michael Schumacher 7th, Mark Webber 8th, Nico Hulkenberg 9th and Paul di Resta 10th.

Paul di Resta just missed the points in 11th, and behind him is another lacklustre performance from Felipe Massa for 12th. 13th is Daniel Ricciardo, then Jean-Eric Vergne, Pastor Maldonado, Vitaly Petrov, Bruno Senna, Romain Grosjean, Heikki Kovalainen, Charles pic, Pedro de la Rosa, Timo Glock and Nrain Karthikeyan. Lewis Hamilton retured on lap 56.
