Recieved my ticket for Melbourne today, first GP wooo!! :D Though who ever decided it would be a good idea to put Vettel on the packaging for Australian GP tickets is a bit of a silly head... Anyone with experience consider any of the trackside entertainment and stuff and things must see? (if there...

There's a bit painted black at the end that's hard to spot in these pics at a glance. That bit goes lower. Even with the black bit hanging lower, is the tip measured from the top or the bottom? I would have thought the rule would be pointless if it was measured from the bottom. the actual tip has t...

Does that nose get low enough? Could be an optical illusion but it seem higher than all the other designs. Or is this an interesting interpretation of the regulations?

To be honest I'm not fussed about what the general Aus media reports because I know they won't justify sending a reporter to each race, from a business perspective it wouldn't make sense. We all know the good websites to check out and there's plenty of great articles to read each day. As others have...

This Crowds looked pretty small from the highlights they put on TV, which is to be expected. They have the entire weekend set up wrong in my opinion, first of all the four 27 lap races on the half track is terrible, I watched the replay today of the first race and that was enough to put me off the r...

No I am sure he wont lose any sleep over it, neither will I. Just felt a bit awkward when Kimi was cheered, Alonso got a huge cheer, and then Vettel booed. +1 I would have hoped that they would be booing that disreputable presentation that they are still persisting with-just so cringeworthy. I was ...

Ok so it appears no one saw Lewis go off....think Nurburgring '07 - understeer deep into the gravel, possibly a slight touch of the tyres but nothing major, no spin.

Does anyone know how to post an image on here from an iPhone? I don't have acces to a computer.

I was at turn 5 today when Vettel did his 1min25 and he looked like he was in another league compared to everyone else...seriously planted. The last time I saw a car that much faster than anyone else (in the flesh) was at the last corner in Singapore 2012 FP3.....Vettel. Ignoring Hamiltons retiremen...

Probably the best article I have read about the Adelaide version of the Aus GP.

He has an RB5.

So that must have been given to him for RBR's first win then?

I have wanted to see a thread like this for ages

I'm pretty sure I read an F1Racing article a few years ago with Alesi where he talks about having a 90 or 91 Ferrari in his home gym?

Also, while not a driver, wasn't Adrian Newey given an RB6 for being such a large part of RBR's success?

I'll continue to support Mark in F1 until he is no longer there but I'm getting tired of him saying he'll "look into" why his starts are so bad. How long does it take to solve the problem with such a huge engineering team behind him?

I hate the new podium interviews.

Flying to Singapore in less than 12 hrs, sitting at turn 1.
So pumped!!!

Just a few thoughts, in no particular order... I love F1 with open wheels and open cockpits, to me that's just what F1 is (amongst many other things). Obviously the powers that be in F1 must look at ways of minimizing the risk to drivers, it's a no brainer. Any multi million dollar organization woul...

I could maybe imagine Red Bull sabotaging Webber if they could realistically believe it would be to the benefit of Vettel, but that is simply not the situation! If Webber was ...

Yeah the blown diffuser thing seems to be creeping back. I think Mark just hates Hockenheim or for some reason it doesn't suit his style. Here in Hungary he was quick in Sat practice, I'm thinking he just didn't get a good lap in Q2. If there is a new part that suits Vettel better Red Bull will only...

Well we can now expect an average race from him maybe getting a few points. There goes the championship shot for him. Maybe next year Little bit early to say the Championship is over yeah? Given that he currently lies second it would take a driver with a complete lack of mental strength to give up ...

I'm not a fan of closed canopies in F1, but this looks awesome.

The thing is, without DRS, even with refuelling, we would still have great stories and great racing this year. Williams have designed a great car, it was very fast in qualifying, they may well still have won the race. Perhaps it's time to lose the crutch and get back to proper racing, because when ...

DRS has made what was once the most boring race on the calendar, exciting to watch.

Fan or not, that's not bad

Yes, Schumacher didn't 'know' what Senna was going to do, but I think that's just clever racing by Senna. I don't believe that Senna broke any rules. It's not clever! It was dangerous and, in case you forgot, took Senna out of the race as well. You do NOT understand racing if you think weaving is c...

They've just shown the replay on Sky. Michael was going to the left and there was easily enough room for him to go around the outside, even after Senna's "move". Why on God's green Earth he decided to swerve right, straight into the back of Senna, I have no idea. This. Presumably because he thought...

You're right to suggest that Schumacher was in two minds and got confused, but in my opinion, a couple of other (more current world champion) drivers on the grid would have perhaps been more decisive and made a choice earlier on. Exactly, but it was Senna that put him in two minds. People simplisti...

It was to an extent where there was no room left for the Schumacher on the outside of the track to make a move.

I would've thought that it's the responsibility of the following driver not to hit the driver ahead of him. give this man a prize, he's got it.

My initial impression is that Schumacher was more in the wrong. I don't think Senna moved twice, he was following the rule that you can move back towards the racing line as long as you leave a car width to the other driver. At the point that they hit there was plenty of room to Sennas left. My init...

This penalty is not a witchhunt, not racial, not a conspiracy... it is an implementing of the rules which have been posted and reposted in this thread. Is the penalty harsh, yup. Is it too harsh? Perhaps... one can legitimately make that argument. Are the stewards wrong to penalize the car/driver/t...

I'd like to know how significant the effect of increased driver vision has on their confidence and speed. Given that the drivers these days all sit as low as is physically possible, having the front of the monocoque 3 or 4 cm lower must give a slightly better view out the front. One of the things I ...
