The Australian Grand Prix proved to be an thrilling event for any Brawn GP fans as the 1-2 in qualifying translated to a 1-2 result in the race, the first time that a new team has managed such a feat since 1954. With no Ferrari, no BMW Sauber and only one McLaren in the top 10, the full results are interesting too...
