Result: Hamilton wins in Abu Dhabi

Great Britain's Lewis Hamilton took full advantage of Sebastian Vettel's retirement to win the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix this afternoon.

The 26-year-old's victory was his first since July when he won the German Grand Prix.

Having started second on the grid, Hamilton moved into first position after world champion Vettel was forced to withdraw because of a puncture.

Ferrari's Fernando Alonso became Hamilton's main challenger, but the Spaniard was unable to overtake the McLaren driver.

Hamilton's compatriot and teammate Jenson Button finished in third, while Mark Webber and Felipe Massa took fourth and fifth position respectively.
