Qualifying Statistics #1 - Melbourne

Brian Lawrence 16 March 2008 19:15:08
 In previous years I have posted these summaries as soon as possible after
qualifying and usually before the race. With final qualifying now ending
only three hours before the race it is more difficult to post them that
early. I may be able to do it for the European GPs, but maybe not.

There have been ten Grands Prix at Melbourne,
4 have been won from pole position (previous was M Schumacher in 2004),
1 has been won from second (Hill in 1996),
1 has been won from third (M Schumacher in 2000),
and 4 have been won from lower positions (Coulthard 4th/1997; Irvine 6th/1999,
and Coulthard (11th/2003).

Average grid position of winners = 3.444 [before 2005]


Notes: Fisichella's second career Pole Position - previously Austrian GP 1998.

First time there has been an all-Italian front row since the 1984 Brazilian GP -
De Angelis & Alboreto.
