Melbourne, 18 March

Fernando Alonso took his Ferrari to fifth placve in the opening round of the Formula 1 World Championship, here at Melbourne’s Albert Park. The first victory of the season went to Jenson Button for McLaren, who was joined on the podium by second placed Sebastian Vettel for Red Bull and the other McLaren of Lewis Hamilton. The Spanish Scuderia Ferrari man did well in a race where the Safety Car came out around half distance, which froze the positions at least until eighteen laps to the flag. Felipe Massa was unlucky and, after he too made up several places at the start, had to retire with broken suspension following a collision with the Williams of Bruno Senna.

The Formula 1 circus is back in action next weekend at the Sepang circuit in Malaysia.
