Not-so long time ago we report about Super Aguri in talks with an Indian consortium for a possible investment in the team, which didn’t worked out. Later on they got a deal with a Magma Group [backed by a Dubai based investment company]. Super Aguri team owner Aguri Suzuki announced that the deal has collapsed.

In an incident filled Canadian Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton, finally, scored his first Grand Prix victory. Followed by Nick Heidfeld of BMW and Alex Wurz for Williams completing the podium finishers. Followed by Heikki Kovalainan of Renault, Kimi Raikkonen for Ferrari and Takuma Sato for Super Aguri. Then came Fernando Alonso for McLaren and Ralf Schumacher for Toyota completing the top 8 finishers.

The biggest incident was the big crash of Robert Kubica. Thankfully as per the last reports he has just a broken leg and is in stable condition. More details report to follow later.

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 crash.net

Super Aguri are looking forward to the next F1 test in their schedule as they continue to cause surprises with their sudden upturn in pace, the team only using an interim version of the car that struggled throughout the 2006 season.

“We have had a very satisfying test this week with the car displaying impressive reliability. Taku had a good day today, picking up from where Anthony left off, helping with the development of the control systems and furthering our understanding of the Bridgestone Potenza tyre. The team is already looking forward to our next test in Valencia in two weeks.” said sporting director Graham Taylor.
