In what alternate universe was the Australian Grand Prix ‘thrilling’ as lauded by various commentators? Button led from the first corner until the end of the race, 2nd and 3rd only switched during a stroke of fortune while the safety car was out, 5th earlier gained a place during a pit-stop…thrilling? Hardly. Interesting? maybe, to a point.
Webber wins Spanish Grand Prix

Third place went to Sebastian Vettel in a highly uneventful race, apart from mechanical problems.
