Yep that seems awesome, thank you Chris for getting this going.

Nice job by Fisichella to get right in the middle. I want to see how good Firman is in these first few races. I'm not expecting too much from him.

Not a bad start i Suppose, really well done to get it all up and running that quickly...majorly impressive

haha in doing it that quick ive noticed ive just cocked up lol I've put Pizzonia in the Williams test drive seat, it should have been Gene. Just take that as Gene as he would have had the same performance setting and i shall change it for the next round. Pizzonia started as Jaguar before being replaced by Wilson and leaving to test drive for Williams in real life. My bad

nice to see montoya and pizzonia into first 8

Good job from Raikkionen and not too bad from Wurz. Still can't believe that it only took two days to organise and to the start, great job

Yeah i think it's mainly because i've ran something like this before for 5 seasons. It still ain't perfect yet but it's getting there

Where's Button? I just can't seem to find my own drivers in that list... Only Villeneuve. What's the matter?

Ow, I found it... Takuma Sato drove :p

Schumacher top. Nice. Badoer in the top 5, if only that happened in a proper race. If Rubens is out of the championship challenge at the last race. I'll probably race Badoer.

Yeah Kenney, your third/test driver drives in friday practice instead of your 2nd driver to try and gain you a "setup reward"

Qualifying should be up later today :-D

it is great to see that our qualifying hero TRULLI is in top three.
we hope that yo have a strong openinig for the season.

Disappointing (but not surprising) to see us at 19th and 22nd, I hope we can improve.

AUSTRALIAN GP - QUALIFYING

Straight onto qualifying then and it was David Coulthard pipping his team mate Kimi Raikkonen to pole!

Great showing from the guys filling out the front with such a small margin between them. Now I'm hoping for a similar result tonight .

10th and 12th is pretty decent :D

AUSTRALIAN GP - RACE

Hello and welcome to the start of the Australian Grand Prix. We're down on the starting grid ready for the race so lets not waste anymore time and get on with the race...


58/58 Coulthard gets a poor start as his team mate takes the lead while DC now finds himself in 4th! Frentzen hits Button who is in 10th while trying to pass. Frentzen will need to pit for a new front wing. The MInardi's get slightly held up by the incident





57/58 Coulthard begins his comeback by passing Ralf Schumacher for 3rd while Pizzonia passes Panis for 15th



56/58 Pizzonia then passes Da Matta for 14th but his joy is short lived as he pulls out when his engine gives up. Disaster for Toyota as Panis hits Da Matta trying to pass him. They both go from 14th and 15th down to 19th and 20th. Bernoldi passes Firman for 14th






55/58 Barrichello passes R Schumacher for 4th


53/58 Montoya passes his team mate R Schumacher but in doing so sends him wide dropping R Schumacher down to 9th



51/58 Ralf Schumacher makes a mistake which sends him down to 20th from 9th!


49/58 Villeneuve retires from 11th with throttle problems


47/58 A look at the top eight after the first ten laps


46/58 Coulthard is the next retirement as he retires from 3rd with an engine problem. Yoong also retires from 15th with an oil leak



44/58 Ralf Schumacher now runs into Da Matta sending Da Matta down to 18th from 16th




34/58 Button is out of the race from 8th as his engine lets go. Ralf Schumacher makes a clean pass for 15th against Panis



31/58 R Schumacher passes Wilson for 14th


30/58 Fisichella is the next victim. He was having a great race in 5th until suspension problems accured


28/58 A mistake from Wilson drops him two places from 13th


25/58 Pit Stops begin. All drivers on a 1 stop strategy

24/58 Panis retires from 14th with engine trouble. It seems to hold up Barrichello slightly


20/58 Wilson retires from 13th with a puncture


19/58 Firman makes it a double retirement for Jordan as he pulls out of 10th with a transmission problem


18/58 Webber jumps Alonso while Alonso pits. Great work by the jaguar team there! Da Matta retires from 13th with a transmission problem



16/58 Disaster for Jaguar and Webber as he retires from 6th with engine failure. With that Bernoldi moves into the top 8 for Arrows!


12/58 Montoya retires from 4th with a puncture. Verstappen is now 8th


10/58 What a shame, Heidfeld pulls out in 6th with an oil leak! R Schumacher moves into the top 8 with only 9 cars remaining!


8/58 R Schumacher makes yet another mistake spinning while trying to pass Verstappen for 7th



1/58 Trulli makes a mistake on the final corner, he's lucky to keep it out of the wall and to keep his position


0/58 Faultless drive from Raikkonen as he takes the first race win of the season ahead of the Ferrari's! A great race full of action!
