The 2013 Indian Grand Prix (formally the 2013 Formula 1 Airtel Indian Grand Prix^[1]) was a Formula One motor race held on 27 October 2013 at the Buddh International Circuit, Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India. It was the sixteenth round of the 2013 Formula One season, and the third (and, to date, last) Indian Grand Prix. The race, contested over 60 laps, was won by Sebastian Vettel, driving a Red Bull, from a pole position start. Nico Rosberg finished second in a Mercedes, with Romain Grosjean third for the Lotus team. Vettel's win confirmed him as 2013 Drivers' Champion, as Fernando Alonso could not catch Vettel's points tally with only three races remaining. Red Bull also clinched their fourth consecutive Constructors' Championship.

This would be the last Formula One race at Buddh International Circuit and the last Indian Grand Prix, as of the 2023 season.^[4] It is also the last 1-2 finish between German drivers until the 2015 Monaco Grand Prix.
