    Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel won the European Grand Prix on Sunday, dominating from the pole in a race that saw teammate Mark Webber walk away from a spectacular crash.

    Vettel won his second grand prix of the season, completing 57 laps of the Valencia street circuit ahead of McLaren's Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button.

    Webber emerged unhurt after a collision with Heikki Kovalainen's Lotus flipped his car early in the race.

    Hamilton finished second in Valencia for the third time, after overcoming a drive-through penalty for overtaking the safety car.

    Hamilton leads the standings with 127 points, ahead of defending champion Button on 121. Vettel jumped two places to third on 115.

    Rubens Barrichello of Williams, who won at Valencia last year, finished fourth and Renault's Robert Kubica was fifth.
