"Melbourne made its debut on the F1 race calendar #OnThisDay in 1996 🤩 It was also the day that Michael Schumacher raced in scarlet red for the first time ❤️ Swipe 👈 to see more of Albert Park where Damon Hill took the chequered flag and Martin Brundle walked away unscathed from a dramatic opening lap crash. We can't wait to go back Down Under again for round 3 of the 2024 season on March 22-24 🙃" - march 10, 2024 📷 @.f1 / instagram

Australia's last F1 world champion backs Oscar Piastri to win a title despite McLaren's issues
Australia’s last F1 world champion backs prodigious young gun Oscar Piastri to win a title despite McLaren's issues: ‘Everything he has ever put his bum in he has won' By Dan Cancian For Daily Mail Australia Published: 04:12 EDT, 26 March 2023 | Updated: 04:12 EDT, 26 March 2023 Formula 1 great Alan Jones has backed Oscar Piastri to become a world champion and believes the young rookie has already shown in his talent in a struggling McLaren. Since Jones claimed the world title in 1980 no other Australian has finished top of the drivers standings, but the 76-year-old is confident Piastri can emulate his triumph.  'I think he can go on to be world champion,' Jones said on Saturday. 'Every now and again someone comes along that has got an enormous amount of talent and I reckon he is one of those sorts of people.' A world champion in Formula 2 and Formula 3 in 2020 and 2021, Piastri has long been considered one of Formula 1's rising stars. Oscar Piastri has been backed to win a Formula 1 title by former world champion Alan Jones Piastri finished 15th in Saudi Arabia (above) after retiring in his debut in Bahrain  While success in junior series is hard to replicate in Formula 1, Jones noted Piastri's knack for winning races at every level he's competed means he will deliver results. 'Everything he has ever put his bum in, he has won and there are not too many people that can say that,' he said. 'He has certainly got the ability to go on and be a world champion.'  The 21-year-old replaced Daniel Ricciardo at McLaren after spending last season as the reserve driver for Alpine and was eager to keep expectations in check ahead of his debut season. His caution appears to have been justified, with the Woking team badly off the pace in the first two outings. Piastri was forced to retire in the season opener in Bahrain due to an electrical issue and finished 15th in Saudi Arabia, while teammate Lando Norris finished 17th in both races. Piastri and Norris are respectively second-last and bottom of the drivers' championship standings, but Jones believes his compatriot has already shown glimpses of his talent in a struggling car. 'He has had a little bit of bad luck, none of which was his doing,' Jones said. 'But he has certainly shown the sort of performances that we expected that he would, particularly the last one [the Saudi Arabia GP], I thought he drove particularly well. Alan Jones (left) and Damon Hill (right) have both been impressed with Piastri's debut Piastri is 19th in the drivers' standings after two races, with teammate Lando Norris (left) bottom of the table below him after finishing 17th in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia The McLaren has badly struggled for pace in the opening two races of the season  'He hasn’t driven anything for 12 months, so to come in after a 12 month lay-off and then go to Formula 1 and go to circuits he has never been to before, it’s a bit of a steep learning curve for him.' Former world champion Damon Hill echoed Jones' stance, insisting Piastri already looked at 'home' in Formula 1 just two races into his career. '[He has been] very solid, very professional and confident,' the 1996 world champion said. 'He does not look at all overawed by Formula 1. Oscar seems at home [in Formula 1], which is half the battle. He looks like he knows he should be there.'

MELBOURNE, 1996 — Michael Schumacher’s physical trainer, Balbir Singh.  
Balbir is a Punjab-born, German-based physiotherapist that Michael would go on to work with for ten years. They started working together in 1995 on a friend’s recommendation when Michael was testing for Ferrari. Balbir works out with Michael in a portable gym, monitors Michael’s diet, calms him down, and acts as a friend and confidant. “Balbir is one of the few men that I could and can trust 150 percent,” Michael once told Bild in an interview.

Happy birthday JACQUES VILLENEUVE!!!!!!!!!!!!! (09/04/1971)⚡
I'm a racer at heart more than anything else, and that will be my priority : competing.
Jacques Joseph Charles Villeneuve was born in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu which is a small town in the French-speaking Canadian province of Québec. He's the son of the Ferrari driver Gilles Villeneuve and has a younger sister, Melanie; he was named after Gilles' younger brother, Jacques Sr, which he's a racing driver too. Jacques' mother, Joanne, was aware from when he was five that he wanted to race, in fact he often went go karting with his uncle in Canada, but after his father's fatal accident in 1982, he became less interested in motor racing, fearing the sport's dangers.
In 1983 he was sent to a Swiss private boarding school, but he slowly realised that he wanted to follow his father's steps, in fact he asked his mother if he could enter the world of motor racing, she agreed on one condition: he had to improve his academic performance in one of his weakest subjects, mathematics. In 1987,after leaving school, he took the decision to attend the Spenard-David Racing School in Shannonville, Ontario to hone his racing abilities.
His rise in the world of motorsport wasn't easy, he struggled a lot and often didn't have enough money to fund his career, and he saw himself many times forced to accept drastic contracts like it happened in 1992: he wanted to race in Formula 3000 but didn't have enough money, so he accepted a contract that allowed him to race but he had to relocate in Japan. After other experiences in the world of motorsport, in 1995 he took part in the Indianapolis 500 and the Indy Car, he won in both competitions.
Following Jacques' success, the Williams team became interested in him, and eventually, after some tests, offered him a seat in the team. He would make his debut in Formula 1 at the Australian GP in 1996, he claimed pole position on his debut race, and also became the first rookie to finish as a runner up for the Championship. The following year, despite a few disqualifications, he managed to win his first and only World Championship. After the 1998 season, which turned out to be unsuccessful, he signed up with British American Racing and then in 2003 he joyned Sauber and stayed with the team until 2006 before retiring from the sport.
Till to this day he remains Canada's first and only F1 World Champion.

Let’s rewrite F1 History: 1996 Round 1
So, after the preparations were complete, the 13 F1 teams flew down under for the season opener in Melbourne. I honestly have no clue what the pecking order would be because of the random nature of the changes that I made. So, let’s see who’s on top after qualifying, shall we.
Tumblr media
Well, guess the AI really got it right this time, as F1 rookie Burt took the world by storm by scoring pole position in the Lamborghini powered Tsunami. Pay Driver Diniz made it a front row lockout for the newcomers. Benetton qualified 4th and 6th. McLaren only mustered 12th and 16th out of their drivers. The biggest surprise is that Olivier Panis in a Williams was outside of the 107% time by a full second. So, Frank Williams only has one car in the season opener. Collard for Footwork also missed out on the 107% time but by just a tenth of a second. So, let’s see what happens in the race itself.
Tumblr media
Well, so much for only having one driver in the race itself, Damon Hill for Williams wins the Australian GP, with Coulthard 2nd and Herbert 3rd. Give a nod to Magnussen driving the Ligier, scoring a sole point for 6th. Unusually, the race didn’t have a high DNF rate, only three of the 23 cars DNF’ed. So, I guess reliability is better than expected? Anyways, the next race will be posted eventually. So, stay tuned for what else can happen during this journey!
