McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton avoided the mayhem around him to open the Formula One season with a pole-to-flag victory in a crash-strewn Australian Grand Prix. The 23-year-old Briton, last year’s rookie sensation, finished 5.4 seconds ahead of Germany’s Nick Heidfeld in a BMW Sauber. Germany’s Nico Rosberg celebrated the first podium of his Formula One career with third place for Williams in a sweltering race that saw only seven of the 22 starters still running at the finish and neither Ferrari reach the chequered flag.
GP d’Australia pieno di errori: il pilota McLaren non sbaglia e vince davanti a Heidfeld (BMW) e Rosberg (Williams). Due rosse ferme per guasto tecnico nella stessa gara dopo 11 anni, ma Raikkonen è classificato 8° grazie alla squalifica di Barrichello. Alonso 4°.
