Wow!

What a difference a couple of weeks has made to F1. I don’t know if it was the weather (thanks for the rain dance Australia), the circuit or whether F1 has actually improved or not….one thing is for sure that was fantastic!

All drivers started on the intermediate tyres due to the conditions. Trulli started from the pits because of hydraulic issues and both Virgin cars joined him thanks to changes made in park ferme conditions.

I think position was key to the start of this race. Webber was warned before the procession lap to line up perfectly in his grid place (keep out of the slippery paint lines). Interestingly I spotted Alonso slightly out of shape when he took up his start place and I think that may have been the reason for the Spaniard’s poor start and some of the madness that ensued!

The lights went out and the Red Bulls seemed safe enough. But no! Massa had a rocket start and got past Webber for P2. Button looked to have done well and was fighting with Alonso into turn one. The camera cut away and then whizzed back...Alonso was facing the wrong way and cars were off on the grass!

Unable to see Button in his highly controversial mirrors, Alonso simply didn’t leave enough room; McLaren and Ferrari connected…Championship leader to the back of the grid. The winners of this incident included Hamilton (up four places ), Kubica (up five) and Petrov (up six). The biggest losers were Alonso and Schumacher (who got caught up and suffered some damage).

If that isn’t enough action for you…seconds later Kobayashi collected Buemi and Hulkenberg in a incident that brought out the safety car. On a less exciting note, Trulli’s race was over before it began as the Italian was forced to retire.

So lap two, saftey car out, here are your positions:

Vettel, Massa, Webber, Kubica, Rosberg, Button, Hamilton, Sutil, Barrichello, Petrov, ...
