Australia race analysis - an afternoon of surprises

Three different teams on the podium, just seven cars running at the finish and not a red one in sight - not a prediction many would have made ahead of Sunday’s season opener in Melbourne. After the disappointment of 2007, McLaren made a near-perfect start to their ’08 campaign, while arch rivals Ferrari were left pondering exactly what went wrong. Williams were also celebrating, after their best result since Monaco 2005, and there were surprises further down the order too. We take a team-by-team look at the Australian Grand Prix…
