Melbourne embraced the spirit of Formula One with an estimated crowd of 150,000 fans on hand to see the city’s first-ever F1 Street Parade. Three Formula One cars and two of Australia’s own V8 Supercars did ‘laps’ of a specially prepared temporary track around some of the city’s most famous landmarks. Local hero Mark Webber toured the ‘circuit’ in an open-topped BMW and waved to the huge crowd, many of whom will be at the real circuit at Albert Park to cheer him on this weekend. “It was fantastic to see everyone out there enjoying Formula One so close up, really smelling it and feeling it,” said the 28-year-old Australian. “The drivers looked like they had a ball. It was great to get close to everyone and really feel the spirit – that’s what it was all about.”
