This is the first race after great revising the regulation in about 20 years and the first time for me to see the F-1.
After almost 10 minutes getting on a tram from my hotel we arrived in AlbertPark ,the place of battle, where is just next to CBD.
An amazing number of people come despite a clash with the opening AFL round.
Two remarkable points in this year found in KERS system and the new comer Brawn-Mercedes which took over Honda.
As a result,one would say that Jenson Button led the rookie Brawn team to a thrilling one-two finish in a 1st round of F-1,another would cynically say that mighty two,red one and silver one, declined themselves. Anyway,this splendid achievement has attained since 1954 toddling Mercedes had performed actually.
In a nutshell, KERS is similar to the effect of mushroom are involved in MARIOKART:Nintendo,I thought･･･. However it might cause the mighty two the declining because the source of the energy(mushroom) collects only when braking ;therefore it is likely to emerge unstable movements. Someone pointed out the reason why Ferrari&McLaren have faded out.
How drastic start is; QANTAS Airline which is official sponcer of this GP flew over the circuit. And drivers entered onto the field for a parade.
Massa
Piquet
Buemi(with a kangaloo)
Kazuki(Shit!Turning around!!)
The race began after formation lap.
At the beginning of the race, there was a confusion suddenly. Webber had touched Barrichello that must have been the very cause ･･･a few of the cars got involved the confusion were over at that time!! Next,SC(Safety Car) has gone on,of course.
｢What a mess!｣ all the spectators said.
Higher positions were Button,Vettel,Massa,Kubica and Raikkonen when restarted, still Button was clearly quicker and widening up the gap.
But on just the straight, Kazuki had a spin into the wall solo. I dont know what on earth he did such a poor mistake!
Good bye Kazuki leaving out. Oh my god!
Naturally enough, SC was called in.
Thanks to the Kazuki(irony!), SC made the gap between Button and Vettel get closer･･･
Moreover,
Piquet solo too!
Fortunately, SC didnt appear. Renault might be in fear because Alonso wasnt so well too.
In the middle of the race Two Ferrari also had a spin and a slowdown and ended up giving up the battle.
In the final, Kubica with medium tyre was getting closer to Vettel with soft tyre. Kubica challenged young Vettel on the third corner at 56laps(only 2laps the rest!) and they clashed･･･
The pity of it!
Both had badly damaged, besides Vettel was given penalty later for dangerous driving by FIA. Aw aw
Now that the race is over as soon as SC was called in.Being resigned to a low position,Hamilton leaped into 3rd temporarily but he lost his position for the detection of violation on the team afterward.
Odd,I thought,the rank of Hamilton went back and forth after the commendation ceremony.
Finally,Brawn got a one-two finish,and two toyota followed the new comer.(All people give Brawn a big hand)
May I walk in? It seemed to be able to walk around the circuit. I've never heard of something more...
The cars were displaying in front of pits.

The news (=new waves?) from Melbourne is all for today. See you next time!
