Scalextric McLaren Mercedes MP4-29 2014 - C3619
2014 Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix. Melbourne creates a spectacular backdrop for the opening round of the 2014 FIA Formula One World Championship. While the teams are always happy when the Australian Grand Prix comes around, for drivers Albert Park can cause a few headaches. All together it creates a low-grip, high-drama grand prix that never fails to deliver the excitement. F1 hasn’t featured turbochargers since the Australian Grand Prix of 1988 – won by Alain Prost driving the all-conquering McLaren MP4-4. Albert Park has been a happy hunting ground for McLaren with six of the team’s 11 Australian Grand Prix victories coming in Melbourne, with wins for Mika Häkkinen, Lewis Hamilton and two apiece for David Coulthard and Jenson Button. |
