Video: Leigh Diffey, David Hobbs and Steve Matchett review the race from Malaysia

Red Bull is now back into the world championship chase and Sebastian Vettel led the way in the Malaysian Grand Prix on Sunday afternoon with teammate Mark Webber coming home second.

With a seventh place on Sunday, and despite no race wins yet this season, Felipe Massa took the lead of the drivers' world championship.

The Brazilian's Ferrari teammate Fernando Alonso, who was the previous title leader, had a downshift problem throughout the hot Malaysian race, and then retired with a very smoky engine failure.

Spaniard Alonso is now two points behind, as is Vettel.

With the one-two finish, the RB6's designer Adrian Newey was able to collect the constructors' trophy, after a tough couple of weeks facing criticism that his cars are fast but fragile.

"Adrian does not design wheel nuts (Melbourne) or spark plugs (Bahrain)," team boss Christian Horner told BBC television.

Behind Massa, Alonso and Vettel, the next contenders for the drivers' title are also closely bunched, with Jenson Button, Nico Rosberg, Lewis Hamilton and Robert Kubica all within 9 points of the lead.
