Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello claimed their second 1-2 finish at Albert Park as Ferrari confirmed their dominant start to the 2004 FIA Formula One World Championship season.
Third was young Spaniard Fernando Alonso as Renault made an excellent start to its bid to dislodge Williams or McLaren from the top three teams this year.

Australia’s Mark Webber ran strongly in a points-scoring position for Jaguar until gearbox failure ended his race with 32 laps gone – his second successive DNF at home.
Neither Williams-BMW nor McLaren-Mercedes could mount a challenge to the World Champions.
McLaren’s Kimi Raikkonen was the first major casualty of the race, spinning into a gravel trap and out with just 10 of the 58 laps gone, while team-mate David Coulthard – winner here last year – was eighth and lapped.
Ralf Schumacher was fourth, ahead of team-mate Juan Pablo Montoya, as the radical Williams FW26 failed to match pre-season expectations.
Jenson Button produced a strong showing to be sixth in the BAR-Honda, with Jarno Trulli in the second Renault seventh.
In the end the six-time World Champion was able to back off dramatically and allow Barrichello to close to the final margin of 13.6 seconds and a second Ferrari 1-2 to follow the pair’s similar result in 2000.
