2006 Foster's Australian Grand Prix - Qualifying
Robert Kubica was the fastest man in the qualifying today, almost 2 tenths faster than Fernando Alonso in 2nd. Kubica's teammate Raikkonen follows in 3rd place, ahead of the two BWMs. Andre Lotterer couldn't repeat his performance of the Free Practice, but he still is in the top 10. Both Ferraris were not able to go the speed of the top teams, they only qualified 13th and 16th. The RedBulls too are not yet at the level they had last season, 17th and 18th sure is a disappointing result for them. Michael Schumacher had a disatrous session with 21st place, the only man slower than him was Franck Montagny.

Shame to see someone go awol but sometimes life gets in the way, like me earlier in the season. Atleast Pluis will get a chance to manage now :D

2006 Foster's Australian Grand Prix - Race
Part 1
Welcome everybody here in Melbourne for the 3rd round of the 2006 Formula 1 season. It's very sunny today, and we're looking forward to an hopefully exciting race. Robert Kubica will start from pole position, with Fernando Alonso right behind him. The cars are now returning from their formation lap, so let's go to the track for the start of the race.
The red lights are off, and here they go!
Raikkonen got away very quick, he's already in 2nd
He even takes the lead going into turn 1
Lotterer too has gained 2 positions
Button up in 4th behind Coulthard
The two Hondas in 8th and 9th
Villeneuve has dropped back to 11th
What a bad start for Alonso, he dropped back from 2nd to 7th
Heidfeld with a brilliant start, up from 19th to 14th
Schumacher now in last place
Ralf Schumacher has passed Leinders
Heidfeld and Verstappen fighting hard
Coulthard sits in the back of Kubica, it seems that he could go faster
Villeneuve defending 11th against da Matta
Frentzen and Webber fighting for 15th
Montagny and Vettel side by side
And the Toro Rosso driver gets past
Raikkonen with the fastest lap, and he is already starting to pull away
Coulthard now goes for 2nd
He gets it, nice move by the Scot
Schumacher has passed Vettel
Massa now back in 16th
Montoya with problems to get his tyres to temperature
Lotterer with a first try, but Montoya stays ahead
In the back we can see that Heidfeld has managed to pass Verstappen
Lotterer with another try, and this time he gets through
Villeneuve in 10th now after overtaking Leinders
Raikkonen already with a big gap to second placed Coulthard
Glock has to defend hard against Montagny
Missed by the cameras Heidfeld has passed da Matta
With 3 laps done, these are the standings
Alonso locks up his brakes
Heidfeld now also past Leinders
Massa up in 14th after passing his teammate
Gock runs wide! This drops him back to last place
And with that we make our first break, we'll be back soon!
