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.

As reported on sportnetwork

Formula One stars Mark Webber, Nick Heidfeld, Alex Wurz and Scott Speed will join Aussie tennis greats Paul McNamee, Jason Stoltenberg and Richard Fromberg as they swap their helmets for tennis racquets – all in the name of charity.

“I am delighted to be part of this year’s event and it’s fantastic we have the support of the F1 drivers and Aussie tennis stars, which will guarantee the spectators a great event and importantly it’s all in aid of Australian children who require support, and what a great way to help them out,” said Mark Webber.

Well done Mark, Nick & Wurz & Speed. We really appreciate the kind things people does for charity.
