Albert Park Circuit, Melbourne

Australian F1 Grand Prix Experience:

“This was my first Grand Prix, and I have to say that it was amazing. For those who don’t want to spend much money on tickets, I highly recommend just getting a General Admission ticket, you can pretty much walk around the whole circuit, and there are many grass mounds so you can get a good view. Viewing areas are also really close to the track, so you can get a close look at the cars. The support categories are also entertaining and worth a look, particularly the Aussie V8s.

The free trams to and from Melbourne were easy to catch, but it was extremely busy on race day, expect to wait for a while unless you want to leave early. Food and merchandise was expensive, but it is Formula 1 after all. Will be going back next year, and I recommend the Australian Grand Prix to everyone! ”

“My first GP in Australia was just fantastic from the moment that i arrived in Melbourne. The weekend was a WOW factor and i will go again. ”
Phil Higgins

“We had a great weekend at the Aus GP! especially with the GP advantage tix! The seats were pretty amazing, right near the front of the stands, close to the action and the 4 corner gave us a chance to see different views! Will definitley go again!!”
Amy

“We had a marvellous weekend. The weather could have been better but the sun shone on the Sunday. We were positioned at Turn 2 with a view of the big screen. There was entertainment all day with various races especially the V8′s whcih were a bonus. The free Tram service was great and I applaud the Melbourne City Council for laying on such great services. Will definitely be going back. ”

Australian Grand Prix 2011 Race Report

• Posted in F1 2011 . F1 News

Vettel beats Hamilton in season opener

World champion Sebastian Vettel got his title defence off to the ideal start with a well-judged 11th career victory in the Australian Grand Prix.

The Red Bull ace made a perfect getaway from pole position and was never seriously threatened – though nor did he disappear into the wide blue yonder as it appeared he might when he finished the opening lap with a 2.4s lead.

Indeed, Lewis Hamilton kept him within sight for much of the race as McLaren again showed better than expected pace, then coped superbly with a detached undertray to bring the MP4-26 home in second place. read more

A brilliant start from Russian Vitaly Petrov propelled him to his first podium with third for Renault.

Scot Paul di Resta was 10th for Force India on his debut.

He finished 12th but the two Saubers were disqualified for a technical infringement.

Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso jumped Mark Webber’s Red Bull in his final pit stop to take fourth place from the Australian, who could only equal his career-best finish at his home race.

There was more frustration for Mercedes as both Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg retired from the race.

Sauber’s Sergio Perez was another sensation. Driving on his debut with the spirit of Pedro Rodriguez at his shoulder, the young Mexican drove an incredible race with just one pit stop (up to four had been predicted) and beat team mate Kamui Kobayashi for seventh place on a great day for Peter Sauber’s team.

The Swiss cars’ pace was too much for Toro Rosso, who saw a resurgent Sebastien Buemi fighting with Massa for ninth place. The Swiss moved ahead on Lap 51, only to be repassed by the Ferrari three laps later. read more

Button Wins Australian GP 2010

The 2010 Australian Grand Prix managed to silence all those “Formula 1 is becoming boring” critics. Fantastic race with a lot of drama and tension from the first to the last minute.

Perfect Button, who gambled and was the first to change his tires after the rain, capitalized on yet another Red Bull car problem. Sebastian Vettel was very comfortable from the first lap and would have quite probably won, just like in Bahrain, if it wasn’t for break failure.

Alonso started the race in the worse possible manner. He was 3rd on the grid, but only after the first corner we found himself last. Still, he proved once again he is a great driver and managed not only to make up lost ground, but prevented the biggest loser of the day, Lewis Hamilton, from overtaking him in the last 10 laps. Hamilton, who has publicly questioned his team’s strategy after the race, was one of the few drivers that stopped in the pit more than once. He really drove his heart out and deserved better then 6th overall.

The same could be said about Mark Webber too. Just like Hamilton, he had stopped twice and at the end of the race he had probably the fastest car on the track, but had to settle for 9th after a collusion with Hamilton only a few laps before the end.

Well done to Robert Kubica, who was clearly the surprise of the race and didn’t make a single mistake.

The championship is wide open, but one has to start doubting if Red Bull can give Sebastian Vettel a winning car.
