Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel edged teammate Mark Webber on Sunday to win the Japanese Grand Prix and move closer to the Formula One championship lead. Vettel started from the pole at the 3.61-mile Suzuka circuit and led for most of the race to defend his Japanese GP title and close the gap on Webber, the points leader. "It was an incredible day with qualifying in the morning and the win in the afternoon," Vettel said. "It seems like this track was drawn for us. I had a good start which is obviously the key." Ferrari's Fernando Alonso, who saw his two-race win streak snapped, finished third to remain in contention for the title. With three races remaining, Webber leads the standings with 220 points, ahead of Vettel and Alonso with 206. Alonso, who won the previous two races in Singapore and Italy and has four wins this season, is in second place because he has more wins than Vettel. McLaren's title hopes took another blow as Jenson Button was fourth followed by teammate Lewis Hamilton, who experienced gearbox problems, despite making a change before the race.
