Qualifying and Race, Albert Park, round 1, season 1

With a one pit strategy planned on lap 19, I qualified 15th on the grid.  In early laps, I hit Webber from behind and consequently lost control of the car and lost 6 seconds.  Since the other drivers pitted early, I slowly climbed to 9th spot and fell back to 12th after my pit.  Nontheless, the one pit strategy was paying off as I climbed to 6th spot in 40+ laps but Trulli pulled in front of me and I got a little excited, spun out of control got penalized twice for off track excursion and was down in 10th.  With 8 laps to go, I pushed and pushed and forced my way pass Frischella and Webber with one lap to go but I momentarily lost control of my car again and sadly finished 9th.  Although Red Bull commended me for a job well done and also in coming in front of Coultard, I wasn't impressed.  I'll try to do better at Sepang.
