The front of the grid was taken by RED BULL this time, with fourth Pole for S.Vettel, third place for Mark Webber, wedged only by Rubens Barrichello's BRAWN GP. Also Jarno Trulli with a Toyota made his way to the front. A shock for Brits, that was the performance of their honey - Hamilton, starting last but one. I don't remember anything like that happen to the current World Champion. The F1 veteran's battle between Barrichello and Webber was pretty interesting. S.Vettel soared like a missile immediately after the start, followed by Barrichello and Webber. In the course of the race Webber managed to squeeze into the second position, leaving Barrichello third, which were also the final standings for them. Having taken 15 laps S.Vettel enjoyed an advantage of almost 15s over the second Webber. The technological progress of Red Bull - so called triple difuser, outperformed all the others. J.Button scored points for his 6th place. Both Ferraris scored points as well.
