The year 2012 has been the year of records for F1, First time we have 6 World Champions in the season all racing for the crown, and now we have for the first time in F1 6 Different Drivers have won the opening 6 races of the season.

Who Won Where 

1) Australia: Jenson Button won the inaugural race after starting from 2nd position on the grid. He is one of the 6 world champions staring in this years season. So Button made a great start to the season in Australia. Button got the first win of the season for McLaren. 

2) Malaysia: Fernando Alonso won the 2nd Grand Prix of the season in Sepang, Malaysia. Another world champion on the grid. Alonso won a rain soaked race and held on to the top spot in an eventful race. So the 2nd race was also won by a champion.

3) China: Nico Rosberg's first win of the career came in Shanghai. Mercedes won their first race after coming back to the sport. Last race they won was in 1955. Nico is the first winner this season who is not a champion. Nico had a great race and was able to nurse his tyres to victory.

4) Bahrain: The defending world champion Sebastian Vettel won the fourth round of the 2012 season in Sakhir with Red Bull. Nico managed to keep the flying Finn "Kimi" behind to secure the win. So, 3 out of the 4 races this year have been won by world champions.

5) Spain: Pastor Maldonado won his first race of his career in Catalunya, Spain. Williams came back on the top step after waiting for a long time, their last win came in 2004 Brazil. Maldonado kept his cool and won the race ahead of Ferrari's Fernando Alonso. He won the race from pole which was given to him after Hamilton was penalised and had to give away the pole.

  6) Monaco: Mark Webber makes history in F1 making 6 different drivers winning the first 6 races of 2012 by winning in Monte Carlo. He got the pole courtesy Michael Schumacher's penalty. Monaco is a tough race and is very difficult to overtake, this helped Webber to take victory in the historic Monaco GP.

We will have to wait and watch out for the 3 world champions who yet have to win this season, its about time for them dont you think????
