Race was on his hand from start to finish; he managed to get in front of all and mantained a 10 sec distance till the end taking care the slips like nobody

2. Sebastian Vettel(RedBull) +2.1 sec
Good start, some overtakes, had a distance battle with Hamilton and after last pit stop, inexplicable taked 2nd place with safety car entering

3. Lewis Hamilton(McLaren) +4.0 sec
Bad start, frustrating race and too much rubber degradation

4. Mark Webber(RedBull) +4.5 sec
Very bad start, almost like every time, good tire conservation and some fast laps pushing till the end fighting for what would have been his first podium in Melbourne

5. Fernando Alonso(Ferrari) +21.5 sec
Pulled all what he could from that poor Ferrari F2012, but somehow very nice race, especially the last part of the race with that awseome battle with that unfortunate Maldonado, who crashed few turns before the finish
