It was Lewis Hamilton who had perhaps the most eventful weekend. The driver narrowly missed out on pole position to Vettel on Saturday but he finished eight after a late change for tyres and a 20-second penalty for an on-track squabble with Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso.
Vettel’s team mate Mark Webber, also without KERS, started third on the grid but dropped down to tenth after a poor start. He recovered well to finish in fourth.
Another great weekend for Renault ended with Nick Heidfeld on the podium after a brilliant drive from him which made up for his dismal performance in Australia.Sean Russell
