RED Bull's Sebastian Vettel made a perfect start to his Formula One world title defence with a pole to flag victory at the season-opening Australian Grand Prix today.
The 23-year-old German blasted off the grid and never looked troubled as he notched up his 11th career victory and third in a row going back to last season by 22.2 seconds from McLaren's Lewis Hamilton.
Renault's Vitaly Petrov claimed his and Russia's first ever podium in third place as the top three all ran two-stop strategies, despite the new Pirelli tyres which are supposed to degrade more quickly.
Ferrari's double world champion Fernando Alonso was fourth ahead of local hope Mark Webber in the other Red Bull. Mexican rookie Sergio Perez was an impressive seventh for Sauber on his Formula One debut.
