Australian Grand Prix - Race Summary

Date March 20, 2007

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.

“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.


Webber writes off Williams hopes

Date February 13, 2007

As reported on BBC

Mark Webber

Red Bull Racing’s Mark Webber has claimed former team Williams are now nothing more than Toyota’s B team …. “There will be denials but there is a feeling that a B team is how it is,” Mark Webber told the Sydney Morning Herald.

“They might have new engines, but not a lot has changed in the structure,” Mark Webber said. “There’s no real reason why the results should be any different for them this year. I thought I would go to Williams and then finish my career at Williams. But it was a tough gig for the credibility of a lot of people. That’s what happens when there’s such a huge drop in form.”

Some strong words Mark ! And we hope that you just won’t keep on harping about Williams and your sorry state there, and prove yourself at Red Bull in this season [so that we can put some credit to all of your talks].
