Description
The 2008 Australian Grand Prix was won by McLaren's Lewis Hamilton from pole position. Held on 16 March 2008 at the Albert Park Circuit in Melbourne, it served as the chaotic opening round of the 2008 Formula One World Championship.The race was defined by extreme attrition caused largely by the newly introduced ban on electronic traction control. Out of 22 drivers who started the Grand Prix, only 6 cars were classified at the finish line.
Rosberg's First Podium: Nico Rosberg secured his first career podium finish, standing alongside his future rival and childhood friend Lewis Hamilton.
Note: Sébastien Bourdais and Kimi Räikkönen retired before the end but were classified because they completed 90% of the total race distance. Honda's Rubens Barrichello actually crossed the line in 6th but was disqualified for exiting the pit lane under a red light.
