It was the inaugural event held at the newly built Circuit of the Americas, and the first United States Grand Prix since 2007. It was the 34th Formula One event run under the title of United States Grand Prix, and the 63rd race in the United States altogether. Sebastian Vettel took pole position ahead of Lewis Hamilton, with Fernando Alonso qualifying ninth. Alonso started seventh, as Romain Grosjean and, in a tactical move, Felipe Massa, both received five-place gearbox penalties. Hamilton won the race, taking the lead from Vettel with fourteen laps remaining. Vettel finished second, with Alonso driving another strong race to achieve another podium, albeit nearly 40 seconds down on the leading pair, with teammate Massa also recovering strongly to finish fourth. As a result, Vettel managed to extend his championship lead over Alonso by three points to thirteen. Red Bull-Renault required only four points from the race to win their third constructors' title, and with Vettel coming second they achieved the feat. The event was Sebastian Vettel's 100th race. __TOC__
