Sebastian Vettel led the European Grand Prix from start to finish to take his sixth victory of the season ahead of Ferrari's Fernando Alonso and Red Bull team-mate Mark Webber.
Alonso was the only driver capable of fighting the Red Bulls and he traded second place with Webber twice before coming out on top after the final pit stops. He got within three seconds of Vettel at one point, but the championship leader had the measure of the rest of the field and managed his race to perfection so as not to come under pressure.
Lewis Hamilton, who started from third, never came close to the lead after a poor getaway dropped him behind the two Ferraris. He managed to get back past Felipe Massa, who finished behind him in fifth, but was over 45 seconds adrift of Vettel by the end of the race.
After the glory of Canada, Jenson Button found himself fighting a losing battle in Valencia and finished sixth after his KERS failed midway through the race.
