Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel wins European GP

VALENCIA, Spain — Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel has won the European Grand Prix, dominating the race from the pole after teammate Mark Webber walked away from a spectacular crash in the early going.

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

Webber emerged unhurt after a collision with Heikki Kovalainen’s Lotus flipped his car early in the race.

It was Hamilton’s third second-place finish in Valencia, after overcoming a drive-through penalty for overtaking the safety car.

Hamilton leads the overall standings with 127 points, ahead of defending champion Button on 121. Vettel improved to third with 115 points.
