  Australian Grand Prix - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
The Australian Grand Prix is a Formula One race held at the Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit in Albert Park as part of the annual Formula One championship season.
The race was struck by tragedy in 2001, when a flying tyre from a crash between Ralf Schumacher and Jacques Villeneuve flew through a gap in the barrier fence and killed a volunteer track marshal.
The 2002 event saw the best performance by an Australian driver when Mark Webber, in the perennially uncompetitive Minardi, took advantage of the misfortune of other competitors to finish an unlikely fifth, holding off a fast-closing Mika Salo in a much faster Toyota.

 Save Albert Park - Australian Grand Prix Act 1994 - Factsheet 35/2, 5 July 1995
When the Australian Grand Prix Act was first introduced, as a bill, into the Victorian Parliament, there was a major outcry.
Not just from groups opposed to holding the Grand Prix in Albert Park but also from the Law Institute of Victoria, the governing body of solicitors, the Bar Council, the governing body of barristers, the Council for Civil Liberties and the Opposition.
The objections focused on a number of extraordinary provisions which remove the Grand Prix from all the usual checks and balances which ordinarily protect the public by ensuring that no single arm of government is inordinately powerful or unaccountable.

 Michael Schumacher (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.virginia.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
After several rebuilding years, Schumacher helped Ferrari win the constructors title in 1999; however, his hope for another driver Championship were dashed at that year's British Grand Prix, where he crashed heavily and broke his leg, causing him to miss six races.
Since the 1994 death of Ayrton Senna, Schumacher has been widely regarded as the fastest driver in F1 and the most dominant driver of his era.
The two most-cited examples are the 1994 Australian Grand Prix (where a crash with Damon Hill in the last race of the year ensured Schumacher's first drivers championship), and the 1997 European Grand Prix (where a collision with eventual champion Jacques Villeneuve led to Schumacher's disqualification for dangerous driving).
