  • F1: 2011 Australian Grand Prix – Sebastian Vettel is the winner

    Sebastian Vettel won the 2011 Australian Grand Prix. He had huge battle with Lewis Hamilton, but he managed to create a 2.4 second lead at the end of the opening lap.

After that he benefited from a penalty given to Jenson Button, so he grabbed fifth place. In the end of the race, Alonso managed to overtake Webber and finished for 4th place.
