Valencia: Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel won the European Grand Prix on Sunday while McLaren's Lewis Hamilton doubled his championship lead by finishing runner-up for the third year in a row.
Formula One world champion Jenson Button finished third for McLaren after an afternoon full of incident, controversy and uncertainty at a street circuit that has offered few thrills in the past.
Hamilton, who had started the day three points clear of his team mate, now has 127 points to Button's 121 after nine races with Vettel on 115 after chalking up his second win of the season.
