The AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX 2010 - Sunday 28th March
The venue for the Australian Grand Prix is Melbourne's Albert Park. The first Grand Prix to be held here was in 1996. At that race Martin Brundle (now a prized BBC F1 commentator) split his car in two in the first lap of the race. It was a horrifying crash and viewers feared the worst. But Brundle defied what viewers witnessed with their eyes and emerged unharmed from the right-off car. Brundle actually sprinted back to the pit and when the race restarted he lined up in the Jordan team's spare car. Brundle spun off again in the same place in the first lap.
24 drivers will start the race and will aim to finish 58 laps of the 3.295 circuit. Last year's winner here was Jenson Button who was then driving for the Brawn team.
