| McLaren still has problems |
| McLaren slightly improved on their performance in Malaysia two weeks before in Melbourne,
although the team is far behind Ferrari and of Williams. David Coulthard saved the day again
with an acceptable a sixth position, between the two Renaults. Kimi Raikkonen, on the other hand, abandoned again, although up to that moment his performance was good, since he was fighting to get on the podium. The Finn took out his anger on a track official, pushing him when he got out of his car. Ron Dennis�s team has a poor total of four points in the World Championship. |
