DEREVA wa timu ya Lotus Romain Grosjean amefanikiwa kuendesha kwa kasi zaidi na kumzidi Fernando Alonso wa timu ya Ferrari katika majaribio ya mwisho katika mvua kabla ya kuanza kwa mashindano ya kwanza msimu huu ya Australia Grand Prix. Mfaransa huyo alimpita Alonso kwa sekunde 0.071 muda mfupi kabla mvua kubwa haijaanza kunyesha katika barabara za Albert Park kunakofanyika mashindano hayo.

Mashindano hayo ambayo ilikuwa yaendelee tena leo yalisimamishwa mpaka Jumapili baada ya mvua kubwa kunyesha katika jiji la Melbourne hivyo kuhatarisha usalama wa madereva wanashiriki mbio hizo.
