However, with the ambulance required to attend to Alguersuari and Petrov, who it is understood was knocked unconscious, the race had to be red flagged with six laps remaining. The remaining cars then lined back up on the grid, at which point the mechanics were allowed to attend to them, notably putting on new tyres. Restarting behind the safety car for a lap, it left five remaining and unsurprisingly Vettel managed to hold off Alonso and Button.
