2011 Australian Grand Prix Results

Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettel made an ideal start to his Formula One title defense, driving a flawless race to outpace McLaren's Lewis Hamilton and win the season-opening Australian Grand Prix on Sunday. Starting from pole position, Vettel maintained his lead off the start, sped away and was never seriously threatened. Hamilton's chances of launching a pursuit were hampered by a damaged floor on his car and he had to settle for second, 22 seconds behind the German. Vettel, who drove a two-stop strategy on the new Pirelli tires, made his first pit to change to fresh rubber on the 14th lap, importantly emerging in third ahead of McLaren's Jenson Button. Vettel was back in the lead after Hamilton and Petrov pitted two laps later, and he retained a comfortable buffer from then on.

In 2010, Jenson Button put in the drive of a champion as he took his first victory for McLaren at a stunning Australian Grand Prix ahead of Robert Kubica's Renault and the Ferrari of Felipe Massa. The world champion roared back from dead last to score his first victory of the year at Albert Park and kick start his title defence. The reigning world champion Jenson Button claimed his first win of the season at a fascinating Australian grand prix in Melbourne today. The British McLaren driver took the chequered flag outpacing his rivals by 12 seconds. Robert Kubica finished second for Renault with Brazilian Felipe Massa third for Ferrari. Ferrari's Fernando Alonso was fourth and Mercedes' Nico Rosberg fifth.

Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettel who started on pole position was eliminated from the race with a brake failure. McLaren's Lewis hamilton who tried to be a contender for the podium, finished sixth, because of a collision with Red Bull's Mark Webber. Michael Schumacher could only manage tenth place.
