The 2000 Australian Grand Prix (officially known as the LXV Qantas Australian Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on 12 March 2000 at the Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit, Melbourne. It was the first race of the 2000 Formula One season. The race, contested over 58 laps, was won by Michael Schumacher for the Ferrari team after starting from third position. Schumacher's new team-mate for the 2000 season, Rubens Barrichello finished second in the other Ferrari, with Ralf Schumacher third for BMW-Williams.

Mika Häkkinen started on pole position in a McLaren, with team-mate David Coulthard alongside him, but both retired with pneumatic valve failures. Three drivers made their Grand Prix debut: Jenson Button in a BMW-Williams, Nick Heidfeld in a Prost and Gastón Mazzacane in a Minardi. Mazzacane and Button retired from their debut race, while Heidfeld finished ninth, two laps behind.

The start of the 2001 Australian Grand Prix from the perspective of Heinz-Harald Frentzen. Natural sound; no commentary.
0.57 min. | 4.87 user rating		 Highlights of the 2001 Melbourne Grand Prix. Please comment and rate. This one took me a little longer than the Malaysia video and involved a complete crash resulting in the computer being wiped and brought back to its factory settings. Note: There is one fatal accident in this video. A track marshal was fatally injured as a result of the Jacques Villeneuve and Ralf Schumacher collision. The song is a heavily altered (for 2 minutes and 23 seconds) Invaders Must Die by The Prodigy. (With an extract from Bohemain Like you by The Dandy Warhols at the beginning)
