However, first-lap retirements in Belgium and Japan allowed others to catch up, and defending World Champion Sebastian Vettel-like Alonso, a two-time winner-took the lead in the sixteenth race of the season. Alonso was the championship leader for the next seven races, taking his third win in Germany and finishing on the podium in the United Kingdom, Italy and Singapore. It was not until the European Grand Prix in June that a driver, Ferrari's Fernando Alonso, won his second race of the year. The start of the season was unpredictable, with seven different drivers winning the first seven races of the championship a record for the series. After being cancelled in 2011 due to civil protests, the Bahrain Grand Prix also returned to the calendar. The 2012 season saw the return of the United States Grand Prix, which was held at the Circuit of the Americas, in Austin, Texas. The season had 20 races, starting in Australia on 18 March and ended in Brazil on 25 November. The 2012 Formula One season was the 63rd season of the Formula One World Championship. Kimi Räikkönen – seen here at the 2010 Rallye Deutschland – finished the season in third place, driving for Lotus F1.
