Fernando Alonso stretched his championship lead to 34 points after winning the German Grand Prix. Sebastian Vettel finished second for Red Bull, but is under investigation for a late-race pass on Jenson Button, who finished third. If penalized, Vettel and Button would have their positions reversed. Alonso has now won two of the last three races to take a strong hold of the championship lead with over a race win's worth of points.

1. Alonso stretches lead
Fernando Alonso stretched his championship advantage to 34 points after claiming his third
Formula One victory of the season in the German Grand Prix.
A campaign that started with a record seven different winners in the first seven races has now
seen Ferrari star Alonso take a stranglehold by winning two of the last three.
Behind the 30-year-old reigning world champion Sebastian Vettel, on home soil at Hockenheim,
finished second for Red Bull ahead of Jenson Button in his McLaren.
Vettel, however, is under investigation for a penultimate-lap move on Button as he ran off the
circuit to complete the manoeuvre.
If Vettel is found guilty it will be likely the positions are reversed.
Explaining his actions, Vettel said: “I wasn’t sure he was still on the side or not, I can’t see
from the inside of the car, so I tried to give him enough room and went wide.”
At least Button can gain some satisfaction from an improved car in which he had taken just
seven points in six races prior to today.
As for team-mate Lewis Hamilton, on the occasion of his 100th grands prix, it was one to forget
