I've attended a few Melbourne GP's (though thankfully not this year!), and
there always seems to be a high attrition rate for some reason. Maybe it's
just because it's the first GP of the year and a few things break :).
Compounding this this year, of course, was the very high track and ambient
temperatures. Believe me, it was stinking hot in Melbourne on race day :)
