Melbourne’s first championship race coincided with Villeneuve’s F1 debut. He took pole and challenged team-mate Hill before an oil leak affected his finish. Hill won, but the newcomer had made his mark. Albert Park opened its championship history with an internal Williams contest, linking a new Australian venue to a new leading driver.
Only months before the 2009 Australian Grand Prix, Honda's withdrawal had placed the team's future in doubt. Ross Brawn acquired the operation, adapted the car to a Mercedes engine and reached Melbourne with little preparation time. Button took pole and controlled the race, while Barrichello recovered from a difficult start. The late collision between Vettel and Kubica returned the Brazilian to second and gave the new team a debut one-two. Albert Park turned a project close to closure into the benchmark of the new season. The result showed that the winter's technical work had produced an immediately competitive car and began Brawn's path to both championships.
