I just watched an excellent Grand Prix in Australia. [My sympathy for my SunUK colleagues: if they stayed up to watch, it’s now 4:45AM over there.] Close competitive racing, plenty of passing, general uncertainty because of all the new rules…. In the end Fisichella scored a solid win for Renault, while Michael Schumacher’s Ferrari was in the garage.
I’ve always been a David Coulthard fan, and I was disappointed when McLaren let him go at the end of last season. While it was gratifying that the new Red Bull (ex-Jaguar) team picked him up, nobody expected very much from them. I was therefore delighted that Coulthard was able to hold on to 3rd for most of the race, and finished 4th, ahead of the Williams and McLaren drivers. Stunning!
