— Sky Sports F1 (@SkySportsF1) May 27, 2012 It is the second time Webber has won the race in the past three years, and it marks the sixth different winner in six Formula 1 races this season, a remarkable string of parity and a first for the sport.

Nico Rosberg finished in second and Fernando Alonso rounded out the podium in third, with Sebastian Vettel taking fourth and Lewis Hamilton fifth. For a complete listing of the standings, be sure to check out the Formula 1 Web site.

The win moves Webber into a tie for second place in the F-1 standings with teammate Vettel at 73 points, three points behind Alonso.

He had the following to say after the race (via BBC):

"I'm feeling incredible. It was an interesting race. It was reasonably straight forward at start, getting the gap and managing super-softs. Then it was matter of trying to get back into gap on track after the stops. The weather was threatening around the pit stop window but Nico went for it, went for undercut, so a few people had to react to his chess move."

"The first phase of the race was strange. It was hard to get the soft prime tire warmed up. Seb had his tires in and wasn't wearing them so he was coming back into the picture. I didn't want him to get the magic 21-second gap and take the lead. It's an amazing day for the team, myself and really happy to have won here again."

It's a big result for Webber, who won only one race in all of 2011 (contrasted with teammate Vettel's 11 triumphs and second consecutive championship). With the two tied after six races in 2012, it should be a very interesting summer for the Red Bull racing team.

The drivers will now head to Montreal for the Canadian Grand Prix on June 10th.
