Nico Rosberg
Rosberg stole the fastest time of the first practice session on his last lap

Williams driver Nico Rosberg clocked the fastest lap of an intriguing first practice session as the new Formula 1 season began in Melbourne.

But England's Lewis Hamilton, the reigning world champion, struggled in his McLaren to finish 16th.

Rosberg took the fastest time - one minute 26.687 seconds - from Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen on his last lap.

New team Brawn GP also backed up their impressive performance in testing with fourth and sixth places.
