F1: Schumacher happy to avoid 'flying' cars

Michael Schumacher admitted he thought he was going to get caught up in the first corner pile-up before claiming victory in an incident-packed Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne this morning.

The 33-year-old began his quest for a record-equalling fifth drivers’ crown with a third win in succession at Albert Park after eight cars went out at the first corner following a collision between his brother Ralf and team-mate Rubens Barrichello.
