Hamilton wins the action packed ChampCar 1 event while the Ferrari's faulter, Alonso monsters to 4th, Heidfeld's BMW takes 2nd, Rosberg 3rd, and Kovalainen 5th to open the season. David Coulthard issues a vendetta to Massa, Barrichello runs over his mechanics, Glock goes airborne the gong show was on in Melbourne, must have been the heat or the gamey kangaroo.  I eat my words once more with my lack of enthusiasm yesterday and although exciting today's race was except for abysmal finishing rate not the F1 we all once knew and sadly have no more.  Thanks.
