Red Bull
Sebastian Vettel, P1
Mark Webber, P5
As Vettel ran away and hid, controlling the race throughout despite the team not using KERS, Webber struggled home only fifth, convinced something was amiss with his RB7. The German’s drive was perfect, elevating him and his team to the points leads in both world championships. Domination doesn’t get much better.
McLaren
Lewis Hamilton, P2
Jenson Button, P6
McLaren came to Melbourne expecting to struggle to get into the top five, and were thus delighted with Hamilton’s gutsy drive to a strong second, even if a broken floor stay compromised his MP4-26’s level of downforce. Button was unlucky to run off the road passing Massa, and had to settle for sixth after getting a drive-through penalty. Overall, however, it was a good day for McLaren.
Renault
Vitaly Petrov, P3
Nick Heidfeld, P12
Petrov made a great start to jump to fourth, and later in the race defended his position against a pursuing Alonso. Third place was great reward for the team which desperately misses Robert Kubica. Heidfeld’s chances evaporated on the opening lap when his car was heavily damaged in a collision with an unidentified assailant.
Ferrari
Fernando Alonso, P4
Felipe Massa, P7
The Ferraris ran better in the race day heat than they had in qualifying, but still disappointed. Alonso drove one of his typically aggressive catch-up races to pressure Petrov for third in the closing stages, but Massa faded quickly after being notably resistant to Button’s challenge early on.
