Event Statistics


Description
The 2001 Australian Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held on 4 March 2001 at the Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit. It was the 66th running of the Australian Grand Prix and the first race of the 2001 Formula One season. The race was won by German driver Michael Schumacher driving a Ferrari F2001, but the race was marred by the death of track marshal Graham Beveridge during the race. This was the last trackside death in Formula One until the 2013 Canadian Grand Prix.
This race was significant for several reasons: it was Michael Schumacher's fifth consecutive win, marked the debut of future World Champions Kimi Räikkönen and Fernando Alonso , and saw Michelin return to Formula 1 as a tyre supplier. The tragic accident involving Graham Beveridge also highlighted the need for improved safety procedures, particularly regarding wheel tethers.
