SUZUKA, Mie Pref. — Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel edged out teammate Mark Webber on Sunday to win the Japanese Grand Prix and move closer to the Formula One championship lead.
Vettel started from pole position at the Suzuka Circuit and led for most of the race to defend his Japanese GP title and pressure driver's championship leader Webber.
"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."
