March 4, 2001; The first start of a legend in Formula One!
On this day, Fernando Alonso, a 19-year-old and 218-day-old Spaniard, experienced his first Formula One race with the Minardi team at the Australian Grand Prix.
🔹Qualified 19th → Finished 12th with a weak car!
🔹A start that became the basis for 2 world championships (2005 and 2006) and 400+ races!

Every circuit to have hosted the F1 season opener

3798j · 03-10-2025, 10:47 AM

Just what F1 needed?...Starting in '26...another street circuit...

dutchm2 · 03-12-2025, 09:18 AM

Australia, in the years when it opened the Formula 1 calendar, gave podiums in the very first race to Villeneuve, Hamilton and Magnussen

This year Melbourne is again first on the calendar.

Which of the six (if you count purely, then three) rookies will bring a car to the prizes?

dutchm2 · 03-12-2025, 09:20 AM

McLaren and Oscar Piastri have re-signed until the end of 2028.
Before that, the contract was calculated until the end of 2026.

I wonder what the rush is on both sides?..

dutchm2 · 03-12-2025, 09:21 AM

It looks like George is going through an interview...

I'm curious, with the return of the season opener to Albert Park, will there be a group photo session like this or not? the last time it was the 2019 season

Youngest F1 drivers ever

There was subtle 'P1' nod in McLaren's championship banner

dutchm2 · 03-12-2025, 09:51 AM

❤️ Michael Schumacher still has the most wins at Albert Park!

4 wins. At the same time, his closest pursuer Lewis Hamilton has only 2...

Unpredictable Australia!

dutchm2 · 03-13-2025, 12:37 PM

Very interesting information from The Race on prize payments to teams for the 2024 season. Note that McLaren is only fourth in terms of the amount.

Ferrari gets a good amount from the historical bonus (which also grows every year), and some teams get a decent amount for the successes of the last decade.

dutchm2 · 03-13-2025, 12:42 PM

Stefano Domenicali to remain as Formula 1 President and CEO until 2029
