Nine different teams in Malaysia top ten

Amid the excitement generated by Fernando Alonso's victory for Ferrari at Sepang on Sunday - and by Sergio Perez's superb second place for Sauber - one fascinating statistic almost fell by the wayside: one that illustrates just how competitive Formula One racing is in 2012. An amazing nine of the sport's 12 teams had a presence among the top-ten finishers (only Force India brought both cars home in the points) - something which hasn't happened since Europe 2010. Not only that, incredibly, those ten cars were covered by less than 50 seconds after an intense 310.408 kilometres of racing.
