Doesnt matter, No penalty. Stewards agreed he had no room.

Vettel won the start and was never seen again ...
His first round is astonishing again and again. He always takes an advantage of about 2s. Does it take the others one round to recognize that the race has already begun?

Looking at the recordings, you are right. Though he should have given the position back, imo.mikhailv wrote:Doesnt matter, No penalty. Stewards agreed he had no room.
If I'm right, this was Red Bull's 100th podium.

Credit to Vergne for saying Alonso did the right thing as it wouldve been a huge accident. Also Alonso has back pain but passed fit after 25g impact.

Source: Formula1 official website.Q: (Khodr Rawi - Autosport Middle East) My first question is for Sebastian: will you keep on doing your doughnuts celebration if you win the next two Grands Prix, even if you’ll get a penalty today?
SV: Well, it depends on what kind of penalty I get. If I get excluded from the next race then probably I won’t be able to do them. Again, it was spontaneous. Obviously I had the experience last week but entering the sort of stadium, I thought it was a very very good spot, I made sure there was nobody around and I was far away from the lines. I think if we are in a position to think about that then obviously it’s very special because it means we had a very very good result in the race. So I think there’s a lot of work before we get to decide whether we can do it again or not.
Q: (Khodr Rawi - Autosport Middle East) The second question is to Mark: you have won at least one race a year with Red Bull since 2009; would it make a difference if don’t win a race in your last season?
MW: Well, it would be nice. I’ve challenged for a few victories here and there this year but not strong enough when it counted, but in the end, Seb was too strong today for the win. I’ve got a couple more races to go, all I can do is do my best. It’s not going to be a huge huge difference but it would be nice to get it as any Grand Prix victory is always special to get them. Yeah, we’ll keep pushing mate and see how we go in the next two races.

Partial eclipse during the race
Re: 2013 Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
I saw it yesterday and I was saying to my folks it's the eclipse, they told me it's probably the mountain. Later in the evening I saw that it was a hybrid eclipse, LOL.

Re: 2013 Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
Helmut Marko says Webber pushed KERS too early at the start and that was why he lost out to Vettel.
Re: 2013 Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
Well then, that's a surprise... Webber having a working KERS unit that is.
Re: 2013 Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
gotta admit, its hilarious. He cant do clutch timing, cant do KERS timing. Cant look after tyres, cant look after his alternator, cant look after his gearbox, cant look after his hydraulics.
He's rogered in Porsche next year then!
