Good afternoon and welcome to our live text commentary of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix at the Yas Marina Circuit.

Vettel pulls in and salutes the fans, then finds his parents in the crowd and gives them a hug. What a result for Vettel and he becomes only the second man to clinch seven successive race wins in one season. Webber comes through in second with Nico Rosberg in third for Mercedes. Thanks for joining us.

HE'S DONE IT! Sebastian Vettel wins the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix for his seventh successive victory. He becomes just the second man to do so in one season, and it's a quite brilliant drive from the German with Webber in second for a Red Bull one-two!

It's all about Vettel and Webber now as the Red Bull duo fly through for their final laps. This will be quite an achievement for Vettel as the world champion comes through for yet another victory!

Hamilton not making much of an impression on di Resta right now as Vettel starts his final lap. Perez close behind Sutil for ninth place too.

Vergne pits now as Hamilton continues to pressure di Resta as he looks to pass the Mercedes man through the middle sector to no avail. Grosjean is now just 2.1s behind Rosberg.

Rosberg reduces the gap to Grosjean and looks to have that covered now as he looks to pressure Webber from third position with just four laps remaining.

Di Resta is in sixth and he continues to hold off Hamilton and Massa but Alonso manages to squeeze through into fifth in behind Grosjean.

Vettel does the fastest first sector as he goes searching for the fastest lap once more, and Webber is consolidating his spot just in behind his team-mate.

Alonso's track limits investigation has been postponed until after the flag. Vettel flies through with a fastest lap and he should be very safe now. Sigh.

Hamilton now a second behind di Resta and Alonso similarly close as Perez passes Vergne for 10th place. Plenty of jostling and harrying now.

Grosjean with another fastest lap and he's 3.2s behind Rosberg at the moment with ground to make up from fourth as he looks to force his way into the podium spots.

Alonso is now just 2.5s behind Hamilton and 0.8s per lap quicker on the softs at present. What can he do from seventh in the final 10 laps?

Grosjean took almost a second out of Rosberg ahead of him on that last lap and is now 4.7s back. Vettel is cruising out in front and is followed by Webber and Rosberg.

Alonso rejoins alongside Vergne and very nearly contact as he flies across the kerb and past the Toro Rosso. Massa, meanwhile, runs wide at Turn 5 and drops back as a result.

So the top seven reads: Vettel, Webber, Rosberg, Grosjean, di Resta, Hamilton, Alonso. The Ferrari man pits for a set of softs for the final stint.

Rosberg with the fastest first sector - the top four at this stage are all very evenly matched in terms of lap time. He is now third and Grosjean continues to frustrate Di Resta in fourth.

Hamilton is told: "Di Resta is next, you can get them both." He still has a lot to do from seventh but he's beginning to find some extra pace through the middle sector.

Alonso is still lapping very competitively and with Hamilton and Massa stuck behind di Resta and Vergne he's in good shape is he goes for the one-stop. Can he make a big impact still?

Massa pits while Alonso continues and it's a bit of a slow stop for him as he emerges down in ninth behind Hamilton.

Hamilton is still in ninth, but his progressed has sowed considerably. He is now 4.6s behind Vergne with Bottas 10th and Sutil in 11th spot.
