Another Australian Grand Prix has just been written into history.
And as the lights go out once more in Melbourne, our thoughts travel back to another season opener at Albert Park; one that changed everything.
Melbourne 1998.
It was there at the opening round of the championship that Mika Häkkinen delivered a commanding victory with the McLaren MP4/13.
And it wasn’t just a win.
McLaren locked out the front row. McLaren dominated the race. McLaren finished with a one-two.
That double podium in Australia signalled the beginning of a title-winning campaign, a season defined by precision, control and authority.
And we are marking that moment.
