Summary

The 2002 Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne proved a race of dramatically contrasting fortunes for the Schumacher brothers, with Ralf suffering a spectacular first lap retirement and Michael proving a year-old car was no barrier to success. Edd Straw and Ben Anderson join host Glenn Freeman to pick over the details of a classic race, which featured one of the most iconic first-lap crashes in F1, a somewhat unexpected victory for Ferrari’s Michael Schumacher, and home hero Mark Webber’s unforgettable debut drive to fifth for minnows Minardi. A host of other big stories that were doing the rounds in F1 at the time are also discussed, including one outfit’s attempts to get onto the grid with assets from the defunct Prost team, and why Ferrari chose to bring their old car to the season-opener rather than their brand-new one.
