Button slowed the pack up on the exit of 130R before restarting. Vettel pitted on lap 34, to begin his final stint on the prime tyres. Within the next three laps Webber, Massa, Hamilton and race leader Button all made their stops, all retaining position. This was until lap 38, when Hamilton overtook Massa in the DRS zone for net fifth place. Heavy traffic had slowed Vettel down on his out-lap, and Alonso moved into net second place after his stop. This left Schumacher in the lead, already being on the prime tyres, he had a longer stint before switching to the options at the end. He spent three laps in the lead in total, the first time he had led a race since the <a href="/wiki/2006_Japanese_Grand_Prix" title="2006 Japanese Grand Prix">2006 Japanese Grand Prix</a>. When he pitted, he had got the undercut on Massa, putting Schumacher into sixth on options and Massa in seventh on primes. Schumacher's pace on the options meant that he initially challenged Hamilton for fifth but later backed off. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Sebastian_Vettel_won_2011_Formula_One_World_Drivers_Championship.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/91/Sebastian_Vettel_won_2011_Formula_One_World_Drivers_Championship.jpg/220px-Sebastian_Vettel_won_2011_Formula_One_World_Drivers_Championship.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="147" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/91/Sebastian_Vettel_won_2011_Formula_One_World_Drivers_Championship.jpg/330px-Sebastian_Vettel_won_2011_Formula_One_World_Drivers_Championship.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/91/Sebastian_Vettel_won_2011_Formula_One_World_Drivers_Championship.jpg/440px-Sebastian_Vettel_won_2011_Formula_One_World_Drivers_Championship.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1280" data-file-height="853" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Sebastian_Vettel" title="Sebastian Vettel">Sebastian Vettel</a>'s third-place finish meant that he won the <a href="/wiki/List_of_Formula_One_World_Drivers%27_Champions" title="List of Formula One World Drivers' Champions">World Drivers' Championship</a>.</figcaption></figure> <p>Vettel began to get closer to Alonso at this stage, diving down the outside of Turn 1 on a couple of occasions. He showed his frustration at having lost two places in the pits and at being unable to regain them when he wildly gesticulated after a <a href="/wiki/Virgin_Racing" title="Virgin Racing">Virgin</a> got in his way whilst chasing Alonso.

Teammate di Resta was falling back on worn out tyres though, with <a href="/wiki/Vitaly_Petrov" title="Vitaly Petrov">Vitaly Petrov</a> taking eleventh from him only a few corners later.

Kobayashi's teammate, <a href="/wiki/Sergio_P%C3%A9rez" title="Sergio Pérez">Sergio Pérez</a>, made great use of a two stop strategy, by saving his tyres coming from seventeenth to eighth on race day.
