Australian GP

1.)  Coulthard
2.)  Montoya
3.)  Raikkonen
4.)  Schumacher

Looks like the rule changes worked.  First time Schumacher has NOT been on podium since 2001, and the first time a Ferrari hasnt been on the podium since 1999.

Should be a good season.

I agree - he needs some PR skills, but he's got talent.

Montoya's interview was almost embarressing for Williams.  

"I basically got screwed twice."

"Shit happens."

I on the other hand think his style is great.  If you thought Häkkinen was "iceman", Kimi takes it to a new level. I'm sure Kimi's pr skills work "wonders" for Schumi's self esteem.  I thought the press conference was hilarious:

Question: But you had a brilliant race with Michael Schumacher.  Let's talk about that.  That incident at the end of the straight as well, he was alongside you there and he was on the grass as he came out.

Kimi: Yeah, I think so, the first corner is a bit too tight for two cars and someone needs to give up and it was this time him.  It was a good race against him. Maybe he was a little bit quicker than us but not much.

Question: Did you know at that point when you were racing with Michael there that you were under investigation for that speeding infringement?

Kimi: No, it came quite late because I did the exact same thing with the pit lane speed as the time before when I had this drive through penalty and I didn't even notice that I was speeding but I guess there is some guys who noticed.

Yep, Montoya seemed a bit pissed off. But I don't blame him. He had the keys to victory in his hand and threw them away.
