Red Bull scoop 1-2 double in the wet

SHANGHAI: Team Red Bull claimed their first victory at the Chinese Grand Prix at the Shanghai International Circuit yesterday despite lacking the controversial "double-decker" diffuser that has lifted Brawn to the current No 1 spot on the teams' rankings.

For 21-year-old champion German driver Sebastian Vettel, whose teammate, Australian Mark Webber, finished second, his team's development of a simpler diffuser was not the key reason for victory.

"I think it's the same for all the teams. We all have a diffuser, if you have this kind or this kind this is what is extremely interesting about this championship," he said.
