Formula One Actions in Melbourne
The starting race of Formula one season 2009 was full of Surprises. There were surprises right from word go. The first F1 race this year was neither won by Ferrari drivers Massa and Kimi Raikkonen nor by Champion of the previous year, Hamilton. The heroes in Melbourne were Jenesen Button and Barichello who finished 1-2 in for their team Brawn Mercedes. It was debut for Brawn Mercedes in Formula one. So Button and Barichello gave Brawn Mercedes the dream debut. Brawn had claimed the pole position in Melbourne. He took the lead right from the beginning. This victory has sent warnings to Formula One giants like Ferrari and Mercedes Mclaren.
There were many setbacks on the part of other drivers. Felipe Massa and Kimi Rakkonen could not finish their race. Redbull Driver Vettel and BMW Sauber’s Robert Kubica were in 3rd and 4th positions when there were only three laps to go. But then Kubica tried to overtake Vettel when the two cars got interlocked leading to disaster. Vettel was driving with three wheels for a considerable distance. This collision in the final minutes gave Lewis Hamilton an Unexpected third place. The starting race signals that this year formula one will be full of dramas.
