The 2012 Australian Grand Prix was not only a great race to open the new season, but a great race in itself with plenty of proper racing and cars battling for position right up to the chequered flag. We had drivers making mistakes, cars breaking down and some excellent overtaking manoeuvres along with some not so excellent – the key elements of good grand prix racing.
