Pirelli have hit back over suggestions that their tyres are making the 2012 Formula One season too unpredictable.   So far this year there have been five different winners in the opening five races, with no team able to get a foothold on the championship.

Pastor Maldonado grabbed his first victory in Formula One in an historic afternoon in Barcelona.   It is the first time a Venezuelan driver has ever won in F1 and he did so in style, fending off a resolute Fernando Alonso and giving Sir Frank Williams’ team their first victory in eight years.

Lewis Hamilton admits that anyone could win the Spanish Grand Prix, following the unpredictable start to the new Formula One season.   There have been four different teams having won the opening four races of the season, and the inconsistent form of the field has seen Hamilton grab second place in the drivers’ rankings.
