Red Bull finally got the reward their pace this season has deserved as Sebastian Vettel led a one-two ahead of team-mate Mark Webber at the Malaysian Grand Prix.
Reliability issues have dogged the team's start to the season with Vettel having surrendered pole in the opening two races. This time it was his team-mate Webber who started on pole in Sepang but the German was swift off the mark to steal the lead after the first lap which he then largely retained for the rest of the race.
Mercedes' Nico Rosberg claimed third place although it had proven a disastrous race for his team-mate Michael Schumacher who retired early with suspension problems. McLaren's Lewis Hamilton had enjoyed a superb race to battle his way from 20th on the grid to finish sixth while his team-mate Jenson Button took eighth having started from 17th.
