Coulthard wins Melbourne 2003

Kimi Raikkonen who finished third, just like last year, speeded in the pitlane, resulting him in a drive-through, and thereby losing his leading position. Thereafter, M. Schumacher lost his lead, after having to make a stop due to riding hard over the curbs and losing both barge boards. Michael ended up fourth. But most disappointed was JP Montoya, who lost control of his car in the first corner after finish line, ten laps before the end. He spun his car, opening the way for Coulthard to take his 13th win in his career.
Ferrari was still the fastest car, but McLaren is aiming high this season, with the new MP4/18 to be used from Spain on... keep on watching :wink:
