That was probably the most crash happy Aus GP ever. I believe that's when he got the nickname "That stupid Mario Dominguez" from Adrain Fernandez, after he took out 3 cars when it began to rain.

Can't wait!

Every race but the 2006 makes some since. All of them have either driven this year or is a team owner.

Seems to me that the videos are not loading, at least on my end. Anyone else having similar trouble?

Got to agree on that one. Almost the entire race was run under caution.
