FORMULA ONE IN AUSTRALIA

LEWIS HAMILTON - THE WINNER

This was just about one of the oddest races I have seen in a long time. We can start at the end. Hamilton was the winner with teammate Nico Rosberg coming in second....isn't that where we left off last year? A full 34 seconds behind them came Sebastian Vettel in his debut with Ferrari.

Now lets go to the weird stuff. Caterham Formula One Team is out of the picture for financial reasons. Also out of the picture for this race was Manor Marussia Formula One Team probably for the same reason, but claimed it was a computer problem. At least they were there. Valtteri Bottas was ruled unfit to drive due to a back injury from the day before. A Red Bull and a McLaren and a Lotus didn't make it out of the first lap. Only 11 cars at the end.
