The FIA has came out with lots of changes for 2008 season. Of all the changes that is high profile is banning of Traction Control from next year. Which means, next year the top speed of cars will definitely come down and there would be more spectacular sights at cornering.

As we wrote earlier, the Indian tycoon Vijay Mallya is hell-bent on bringing Formula 1 to India and our good ol’ Bernie is also very much interested in Indian Grand Prix. While earlier there were talks of building of a new circuit [which is not yet abandoned completely], now there are talks of having a street-race in the Indian capital, New Delhi.

Mario Theissen will be keeping an eye on Kimi Räikkönen as the Finn’s career at Ferrari races on … “A driver who wins fits with BMW,” team principal Theissen, when asked about Räikkönen. “I have not worked with him personally, but I know the opinions about him. “He always drives consistently for very competent teams, and perhaps like no other driver he can also cope with a car that is not perfect.”

And Kimi Raikkonen takes the chequered flag at 2007 ING Australian Grand Prix. Reigning champion Fernando Alonso finished second in his McLaren, followed by the rookie [and Fernando's teammate] Lewis Hamilton walking on the podium in his debut race.

If you thought Formula 1 racing were boring, think again. The race can’t get any more interesting and spectacular, with David Coulthard deciding to take “Aerial Route” literally on Alex Wurz. With Heikki Kovalainen thinking of Albert Park as Park, in literal sense, and driving his Renault in grass quiet a few times. With Takuma Sato finishing ahead of Jenson Button but behind Reubens Barrichello. With Felipe Massa managing to finish at 6th place after starting from 21st place on the grid [and thus proving my predictions for grid positions wrong]. With Williams managing to finish ahead of both of the Toyota’s.

Let’s look at what happened in some details.
