Kimi Raikkonen Wins 2007 Australian GP
Kimi Raikkonen won today’s Australian Grand Prix from the pole and opened the record books on Formula 1’s post-Schumacher era. It was nice to see him win again after his terrible final year at McLaren.
Fernando Alonso barely beat out his new teammate to finish second but McLaren’s double-podium must be reassuring to him.
Lewis Hamilton finished third on his first F1 start and several other rookies showed good form to give us all hope of a decent season ahead.
