Reigning World Champion Jenson Button claimed victory in Australia for the second year in succession, whilst Vettel won in Malaysia, setting up a unique situation that would last for the rest of the season whereby no driver would win a race while leading the World Championship.
Aktualni svjetski prvak Jenson Button pobijedio je u Australiji drugu godinu uzastopno, dok je Vettel pobijedio u Maleziji, započevši jedinstvenu situaciju koja će trajati do kraja sezone u kojoj niti jedan vozač neće pobijediti dok vodi u prvenstvu.
