MURRAY!!!

Yesterday we had Fernando Massa.

He also said that Villeneuve was faster than his teammate...although Heidfeld hadn't been out on track yet.

Good to have him back - get him back on ITV though...

82. Not bad for someone with a bus pass really.

Apparently he has signed to commentate for the Grand Prix Masters series this year. Superb.

A little unfair on young rosberg

Not really - he tried to put his teammate into the wall..

He does seem to push himself to the limits constantly - even when he doesn't have to.

Montoya has spun on the grid...

Flibster · 2 Apr 2006 at 05:04

Fisichella has stalled - start aborted.

Fisichella will start from the pitlane.

Race will now be 1 lap shorter.

Flibster · 2 Apr 2006 at 05:05

Laugh it up Brawn...

Oh..btw? Where are your cars on the grid?

Can Montoya get his place back nwo since theirs another formation lap or does he go to the back?

Errrrr...

I believe he can as he wasn't left on the grid when all the other cars went past.

2006 Aussie GP is GO!

Alonso tried to go round the outside into turn 3 - had to go wide to avoid being walloped.

R.Schumacher and COulthard had contact and R.Schumacher has spun.

Massa is of the track somewhere.

Safety car deployed.

Flibster · 2 Apr 2006 at 05:09

Massa has removed the other side off his Ferrari...

Nice one.

So he was signed as he's a championship potential driver?

Rosberg in the pits missing his rear wing.

Flibster · 2 Apr 2006 at 05:10

Unsurprisingly - Rosberg retires.

Flibster · 2 Apr 2006 at 05:10

Fisichella has spun - while under the safety car!!

Flibster · 2 Apr 2006 at 05:12

Fastest lap of the race goes to Ide

2:32.982

Flibster · 2 Apr 2006 at 05:13

Looks like Massas incident set off the fire extinguisher in the car.

Clouds of CO2...

Flibster · 2 Apr 2006 at 05:14

2 laps done.
Trulli and Massa and Rosberg in an accident.

Coulthard is not going quick at the back.

Alonso 's down the inside into turn 1.

Flibster · 2 Apr 2006 at 05:15

Superb Webber - round the outside of the remaining Toymota.
