''I'm very, very happy for the team,'' Vettel said after Lewis Hamilton passed him on lap 42 to win and push him to second at the Circuit of the Americas. ''It's been a tough year so far and they have been pushing incredibly hard; they deserve to win, as we have been the best team.'' Red Bull has earned seven wins and eight pole positions this season with one race left to run next week in Brazil. Vettel started on the pole Sunday and teammate Mark Webber was in the No. 3 spot. But Webber did not finish after retiring on the 17th lap with engine problems. ''Obviously Mark and I were pushing throughout the year. It was a shame for Mark not to finish today,'' Vettel said. ''Lewis beat us fair and square.

Championship leader Fernando Alonso of Ferrari nearly had his head clipped when Romain Grosjean's Lotus flew over him in a wild, multi-car accident at the start of the Belgian Grand Prix. Grosjean went for a small gap and clipped Lewis Hamilton's McLaren. That sent both cars spinning and Grosjean's Lotus went airborne over Alonso's Ferrari, which then took out Sergio Perez's Sauber. ''The risk was large and seeing another car flying over one of ours, just a few centimeters from his helmet, made us feel like our hearts were in our throats for a few dozen seconds,'' Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali said. Grosjean was banned for one race and will be replaced by Jerome D'Ambrosio at Lotus this weekend. Alonso said immediately afterward that he ''felt a train coming with a big, big hit,'' while Hamilton briefly con Wed, 05 Sep 2012 15:21:14 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/safety_dominates_discussion_as_f1_heads_to_monza/11635531 http://network.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/safety_dominates_discussion_as_f1_heads_to_monza/11635531 Safety dominates discussion as F1 heads to Monza http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/articles/safety_dominates_discussion_as_f1_heads_to_monza/11635531 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/7/c/7c83658d2e00482b67f610358c2e35f78a72ae05/mini/F1_Testing_in_8177.jpg As Formula One prepares to race in Ferrari's home grand prix at Monza this weekend, safety still dominates discussion. Championship leader and Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso nearly had his head clipped when Romain Grosjean's Lotus flew over him in a wild multi-car accident at the start of last weekend's Belgian Grand Prix. Ideas being debated run from some sort of cage around drivers' heads to adding rear-wheel bumpers to employing running starts. Others have called for a football-like system whereby if you get two warnings for reckless driving you miss the next race. It's all talk for now in a climate which feels similar to the aftermath of Ayrton Senna's death in 1994. However, Alonso is alive and well and the Italian GP represents a chance for him to bounce back and pad his 24-point lead over Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel. The crash sent Alonso, Lewis Hamilton and Sergio Perez off the track at the first corner. Grosjean went for a small gap and clipped Hamilton's McLaren.

Ferrari has struggled and failed to build on Fernando Alonso's surprise win at the Malaysian Grand Prix last month, with the Spaniard placing ninth at the Chinese GP on Sunday and teammate Felipe Massa finishing down in 13th. ''There's no point denying we are disappointed,'' team principal Stefano Domenicali said. ''We had the potential to get a better result than this, but we did not manage it.'' One of Ferrari's biggest problems so far this year is a lack of pace in both qualifying and races - an issue that can't be addressed until after next week's Bahrain GP, Alonso said. ''Obviously, this does not leave me very optimistic for Bahrain, on a track where traction and speed are vital, exactly the areas where we are weakest,'' he said after the race. Earlier this week, Alonso said the team was working to improve the car's aerodynamics to im Sun, 15 Apr 2012 10:47:25 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/alonso_says_ferrari_cant_fix_problems_overnight/10561447 http://network.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/alonso_says_ferrari_cant_fix_problems_overnight/10561447 Alonso says Ferrari can't fix problems overnight http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/articles/alonso_says_ferrari_cant_fix_problems_overnight/10561447 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/6/4/6407eefec83d75fffcebeeac3c4b38314ef6a7f9/mini/F1_Grand_Prix_13a1.jpg Narain Karthikeyan says he has no reason to apologize to Sebastian Vettel for their run-in in Malaysia...
