Pole-position “Vettel style”

@jamiefranklinf1
Actually Jamie, me, Christian and Adrian have discussed this matter after yesterday’s race in Melbourne. We have came up with a conspiracy that someone deliberately flooded the track on Sunday in Albert Park to prevent myself from a dominant lights to flag victory. As usual, perfect Shark did his perfect job and got himself in the top 5 despite our rivals cheating.

Lap 1 Despite a perfect qualifying, both Red Bulls lose out to a very fast starting Coolidge, as the Williams takes the lead from sixth on the grid!
Lap 1 Both Ferraris get great starts as well, as the Lotuses falter once again.
Lap 2 Varga and Robson come together at the beginning of lap 2, and that is both of them out of the race! Terrible luck for Tom Robson in the Mercedes, two races in a row!
Lap 4 The HRT of Hofman comes into the pits with a puncture, after driving over the debris left by the Sauber. Looks to be suspension damage…he won’t be back out.

Wow, a Williams is leading? From sixth on the grid? That was a very Alonso-esque start from you, Coolidge!

@kingshark Reminds me more of Villeneuve at Jarama in 1981. Started 7th, but went two wheels off the track while making up to 3rd in the first corner (and 2nd before the end of the first lap, I think). I wish I could find a video, it looks incredible from above.

Lap 15 Despite a fantastic qualifying, and what was looking like a strong race, Johnny Kingshark looks to be out with a mechanical failure. He’s trailing around very slowly. The team are on the radio, telling him to see if he can get it back to the pits, but it looks like a big ask…
Lap 16 Kingshark is now at the back of the field, almost back to the pits, amongst the back markers…oh wait! That’s Downton, going into the last corner, he’s ploughed into the back of him. Both go trailing off into the gravel! Bradley Downton is out for the second race in a row with another horrific incident…
Lap 17 It’s a Red Flag as the medical crew attend to Downton, who looks to be in a lot of pain after that airborne collision.
Red Flag – Medical Crew on Track
Lap 18 The race is restarted but Ben Needham trails off slowly into the pits. It seems that he’s lost 5th and 6th gears.
Lap 23 Chan is looking very strong in his home race, could be set for a podium place, and still chasing Graham hard!

Lap 31 Chan pulls a move up into turn 1, and that’s him up to second. What a fantastic showing in his home race!
Lap 34 Chan is on fire. He’s now caught up to Coolidge, and they are going head to head for the win! Sauber vs Williams!
Lap 36 Jackie Chan shoots up the inside into turn 3…Oh! They collide, Chan launches as he hits the Williams’ front left, which is in turn torn from the car. Atrocious luck for both of the drivers. They were on for such a strong showing…
Lap 38 The top 3 are very close to each other now. We could be on for an exciting finish, as long as we don’t have any more comings together.
Lap 41 The rain is coming down very hard now. Oli Peacock slides off into turn 6, he simply ran out of grip and slides into the gravel. He’s going nowhere.
Lap 42 Red Flag! Apparently the rain is just too much at the moment. We are now up to the 75% point exactly…will they restart the race for the remaining 14 laps?…

Lap 43 The race restarts to the roar of the crowd! Matershaw is quick off the line and takes his team mate down into turn 1. Definitely no team orders there!
Lap 50 Graham, Ingram and Franklin now fighting tooth and nail for that top spot. It’s fantastic to see! Each car within a few tenths of the other!
Lap 53 Frog takes 12th place, with an awesome move into the penultimate corner, taking Kirkham first, before out-dragging the Caterham for 12th!
Lap 56 Graham takes a great win for Red Bull Racing, quickly followed by Ingram in the McLaren and Franklin for Lotus. That has to be the closest finish we’ve had for a very, very long time.
Lap 56 That’s Haddleton out of the final corner, just beating Morley to the line. That had to hurt for the Australian. Force India end up with 8th and 9th.
