Sebastian Vettel had virtually led from start to finish after launching away from pole position and easily retaining first, even without KERS. Lewis Hamilton came in second after an impressive turnaround of McLaren performance while Vitaly Petrov brought Lotus Renault its first 2011 podium.
Hamilton's tyres appear to be holding up better than the Red Bulls at the moment... 0.6 seconds faster on that lap. Vettel on the radio saying the rears are going.
Both Petrov and Alonso are slightly faster than Webber, only 2 seconds behind. Webber's still 1 to 1.5 seconds slower than the sister car and Hamilton.
