Raikkonen Triumphs

Raikkonen triumphs in Melbourne Ferrari dominate as Hamilton stars on McLaren debut 18 March 2007
Kimi Raikkonen became the first Ferrari driver since Nigel Mansell in 1989 to win on his debut with the legendary Italian team on Sunday, barely putting a wheel wrong in the season-opening Australian Grand Prix. His only problems were one minor off when he lost concentration on lap 46, and the lack of a radio throughout the race.
ferrari are back........
