MARK WEBBER
Kind of a quiet race with Mark Webber leading from start to finish. He is my odds on favorite for many reasons....not afraid to speak out against his home country for their police actions, visited the burn victims from the Australia fires without fan-fare, attitude in over-coming poor racing luck over the years.
Fernando Alonzo, racing in his home country, came in second to the happiness of the Spaniards who acted like he won the whole show. Well, why not. It was a fluke that put him there. Lewis Hamiliton, who had been running a solid second, had a tire give out causing him to hit the wall just two laps from the end.
That problem with Hamiliton also moved Sebastian Vettel (Webber's teammate) up to third place in a car that had been limping without brakes for many laps. On to Monaco!
