Memoroable moments at the Australian Grand Prix
1996 : Martin Brundle cart-wheeled over two other cars at the start of the 1996 race, braking his Jordan in half. He earned worldwide exposure for running back into the pits to use the spare car for the restart.
1999 : Eddie Irvine took his first victory in a Grand Prix that several drivers could have won.
2002 : Ralf Schumacher triggered an accident that took eight cars out of the race at turn one. Without the use of a crane, marshalls dragged Felipe Massa’s Sauber off the circuit so the race wouldn’t have to be stopped, allowing local hero Mark Webber to come home fifth on debut with Minardi.
2004 : Michael Schumacher broke the lap record in practice on only his first flying lap. On his second lap he lowered the benchmark again by over a second, and promptly pulled back into the pits. In the space of just five minutes Ferrari had shown they would be unbeatable.
