Winterbottom, who had a disappointing start to the championship proper at the season-opening event in Adelaide last weekend, was thrilled to have made best possible use of the speed his new FG Falcon clearly has.
And he shot down any suggestion the fact the Grand Prix event wasn't for championship points meant the top drivers weren't giving their best.
"It was nice to get a win and show the car is competitive and hopefully we'll continue it tomorrow," Winterbottom said as he goes into the last of the three races on Sunday on pole.
"Every time you go on the track you're learning - for us it's a new car.
"Everyone can sit here and say it's an exhibition event but we could go and play indoor cricket and we'd be trying to beat each other.
"You're competitive and you want to win."
Davison again showed his move to the Holden Racing Team looks a good one for both parties as he pressed Winterbottom hard late in the race.
The HRT new boy was a dual podium finisher in Adelaide last weekend, and has finished in the placings in both races so far at Albert Park.
