F1: Australia Post Race

WOW!!! What a race. Way too much happened to put it all down. 10 cars out in total. Last position was 13th. We even had a spinout during the formation lap and Fisichella stalled on the grid. HAHAHA I really don't know what to make of this race.
Alonso wins again, but the real winners this race are the BMW team. Sure, I'm biased, but WOW! 4th and 6th place for Heidfeld and Villeneuve respectively. Villeneuve started in 19th and steadily came back into the points. So both Villeneuve and Heidfeld have 5 points each. BMW must be ecstatic.
Lap 1 was quite eventful. Rosberg is clipped by Massa who then slams into the wall. Both are out right away. Then Klein hits the wall around lap 5. Webber's driveshaft or some other problem puts him on the side of the road with 34 laps left. Micheal Shumacher out around lap 24. He went off the road and hit a bump that sent him into the wall. I think he was being too aggressive trying to get back into it even though he didn't have the grip he wanted. It was entertaining to see the wild driving. And with 11 laps remaining, Montoya is out. I forget why exactly.
But the excitement was on the very last lap with Fisichella putting pressure on Webber for 5th place (I think). Then just yards from the finish line, Webber's engine goes up in flames in dramatic fashion and has to park on the side of the road with the finish line directly in front of him.
Quite an entertaining race. And it didn't even rain. I can just imagine if it did. Until next time.
