Favourite Australian Grand Prix

      I remember it was 2007 when I found out what kind of sport Formula One is, because I did not know  until I saw an article about Polish driver Robert Kubica who had an issue with his car, then I thought OK, but where is his car ???. Is that a very weird machine over there which did not resemble a racing car??, but I was fascinating, then I started looking for some information about other drivers, teams, and of course racing where and when I can watch it, and luckily I saw that first race of the season is in a couple days on available channel. I was couriers how all that Formula 1 race look like and started counting days until Australian Grand Prix.

     

      Race started at early morning in Poland, but in sunny Melbourne it was after midday, When I am watching this after nine years I cannot believe how Formula One has changed different pit stops, engines, scores, teams , also drivers there were lots of drivers who are not driving now, for Lewis Hamilton It was a first race in Formula One, his father was with him in every single race, from the beginning Lewis was very talented also he was racing in very competitive team like Mclaren with his teammate Fernando Alonso champion from previous season. In 2007 Robert Kubica was also racing. I was cheering him on. During the race he was at fourth very high position, but then He had an issue with his car and unfortunately he retired. English commentators had a lots of problem how they should say Robert’s  last name “Kubika” or “Kubica”. One of them said that “Kubika” sounds faster:)

 In 2007 pit stops looked a little bit different, because of the refueling which took so much time that the most important was a good pit stop strategy, and during the race drivers were two times in pit. Also there was a different score. Driver who won Grand Prix scored only ten points not twenty five like today.

      Australian Grand Prix won new Ferrari driver who replaced F1 legend Michael Schumacher, I am writing about Kimi Raikkonen. Then he did not know that he became a champion for 2007, Fernando Alonso was second, and Lewis Hamilton rookie driver was third that was a fantastic result for him on his first race, amazing and now in 2016 he is a three times champion. That is incredible.

When I watched that race in 2007, Formula One race for the first time I was so excited, fascinating and full of best emotions that F1 became my passion, so my favourite Australian Grand Prix is from 2007.

      Below I would like to show you a video of most memorable moments from that race:):)
