Latest Formula One standings

Fernando Alonso, left, and title rival Sebastian Vettel, right, with Abu Dhabi winner Kimi Raikkonen.

Sebastian Vettel will take a 10-point lead into the final two races of the Formula One season after a remarkable performance at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
The Red Bull driver started from the pit lane at the back of the field after breaking technical rules concerning minimum fuel limits during Saturday's qualifying session, but managed to finish third after surviving several scrapes along the way.
His lead was cut from 13 points as main rival Fernando Alonso finished second behind Lotus' Kimi Raikkonen -- whose hopes of a second world title are now over despite his first victory since 2009.
Raikkonen ended Vettel's run of four successive victories and extended his lead over fourth-placed Mark Webber, who failed to finish in Abu Dhabi.
