Vettel takes European Grand Prix

Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel won the European Grand Prix on Sunday in Valencia, Spain, dominating from the pole in a race marked by teammate Mark Webber's spectacular crash and Fernando Alonso's claim that the results had been "manipulated."

Vettel won his second grand prix of the season, completing 57 laps of the Valencia street circuit ahead of McLaren's Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button.

Webber emerged unhurt after his car went airborne early in the race following a collision with Heikki Kovalainen. The crash led to the appearance of the safety car and a controversy involving Hamilton that drew Alonso's ire.

"We were running well, in third after a good start," the Spaniard said. "Then the safety car came out, which wasn't too good for us, but Hamilton overtook the safety car, something that I had never seen, overtaking the medical car with yellow flags. We were a meter off each other, and he finished second and I finished ninth."
