With dry conditions throughout and not a safety car in sight, action during the third race of the season came largely from drivers and their respective machinery. Even the omnipresent pit crews played but a minor role in the shaping of the afternoon's action.

The story of Sunday afternoon was all about being on the right tyre at the right time and making the allocated rubber go the distance. Rate the passing and the stewarding during round three.

Fernando Alonso won the race, seemingly without trying, while three drivers behind him all finished within 2.5 seconds of each other. Jenson Button was the only man in the top five to make a two stop strategy work and two places behind him Daniel Ricciardo gave Toro Rosso their best finish of the season.
