Melbourne Formula One Grand Prix

Albert Park racing brought a colourful day all around as Giancarlo Fisichella (Renault) finished the Melbourne Australian Formula One Grand Prix first, followed by Reubens Barrichello (Ferrari) and Fernando Alonso (Renault), finished third.

It was a great result for Mark Webber for the new team of BMW Williams with a satisfactory finish of fifth overall. It was a disappointing result for the World Champion Ferrari driver Michael Schumacher who did not finish in the Ferrari F1 after being hit on a curve and spinning out.

This makes it a one-three finish for Renault who are 16 points clear on top of the driver teams table.

It was a great result all round for the debutants, such as Indian's Karthikeyan, a debut driver for Jordan's new racing team.

Also, a new team has been announced; the new Red Bull Racing team, replacing Jaguar racing.

This is just some news come through on the Melbourne Grand Prix in Australia.

Davo.

 

Hey Iceguy,

Zipped by this thread a couple of times before I realised that "Australian Formula One" was not an alcoholic beverage served @ Big Buck's and Blackspear's local Pub.

It's refreshing to see an Italian driver in a French auto win an Australian race. Boy......talk about a mixed marriage!

Drive on, big ed

 

Its was a sad day...

I mean, come on, finally a Dutch talent in the Formula One... breakdown due to gear problems (first and second busted)!

 

Well, there is actually an alcoholic beverage which sponsors the Australian F1 and that's Fosters.

 

Yes, and while their billboards are at almost every corner of the circuit, it's astonishing somebody ever finished at all !!!
