Australia 2009: Race Result

The 2009 Formula One season is underway as the grid hurtles down to T1 on the first lap. With the Brawns at the front it looks as though they could runaway with it. But Sebastian Vettel will be doing all he can to keep up. Both Toyotas have elected to start from the pitlane following their disqualification from qualifying. Lewis Hamilton is therefore at the back of the grid after a poor showing in qualifying and a change in gear box which resulted in a further demotion.
