What a qualifying session! Boring.... :lol: Are the supersofts the better tyre to start the race on though? Could see Mercedes drivers undercutting Ric by the time he pits later on. How can they undercut a tyre that can supposedly last twice the distance? The mercs have no choice but to pit because...

Aussie Grit

Wow!!!

Aussie Grit

Really smart move from redbull with Ricciardo.

I am surprised at Vettels pace today. That thing looked like a brick on wheels on Thursday.

I think Merc will pull it out in q2 and if last week is anything to go by, Ric has more on hand for Q3...

Too hard to tell

Very exciting.

Aussie Grit

Max pressure

Aussie Grit

Cut the corner on the inside and broke the steering, pretty much a passenger after that..

Don't see it happening, they've only just started hitting points..

Aussie Grit

Went with 0.5-0.7
I've seen nothing special from max and don't believe he deserves this seat.
And I honestly believe ric will walk all over him.
Max is too hot headed, I reckon he'll fold worse then Danny did.

Aussie Grit

Wow...... Did not see this coming.. :/

Aussie Grit

Completely agree with Toby.

Aussie Grit

^^ lmao, ohh gawd.. Incredible.

Aussie Grit

I reckon Mercs won't win all of the races this years.
Either a ferrari or bull will slip one in. "Giggity"

Holys**t , how did i miss first practice.

Aussie Grit

If Rosberg can beat Hamilton around here then I think we are looking at the real possibility of a new WDC this year which is pretty exciting. That said I expect it to be a dominant Lewis win, I'm not a massive fan of China either so I get the feeling I will be grumpy after waking up at 7am for a bo...

Aussie Grit

Voted Romain and Ricciardo.

I'm baffled by mercs choice of meds.

Long way to go though but this is why they did so much long running in testing
Is this mercs advantage? Supremely quick on the mediums compared to the vulnerable softs.

Well, they have done a lot of mileage on the meds, guess we'll find out.

Aussie Grit

Good opportunity to see the pace differences between merc, ferrari and redbull.

Aussie Grit

Alonso almost did a Mark webber up the rear, glad he's ok.

Aussie Grit

Lol at that gif, haven't seen the f1 version before

Aussie Grit

Ahh, love this time of year... Also, find it weird that there is no Melbourne picture thread..
No one has any pics?

Aussie Grit

May I remind you again that I never said, or even implied, that Nico's lap wasn't quick? Unless I recall wrongly, you did say all 'we know' is that Nico's lap was the quickest, but we don't know if it's 'quick' Saying "we don't know if it's very quick" does not equal "Nico's lap wasn't quick". I sa...

Aussie Grit

Not a fan of it, especially the rear wing..

Aussie Grit

A little confused... What winglets?

Aussie Grit

Definitely will be watching it, especially to see if frosty can do it again.

Bring on the roo's, the carnage and some of the best wheel to wheel racing.

Niki Lauda has announced that Mercedes will supply Manor for a 2016 powerplant to replace the 2014 spec Ferrari. Trying to remain on budget was a top priority for Manor. And it could be the reason they had to run a 2014 car. http://www.eurosport.com/formula-1/manor-set-for-switch-to-mercedes-engine...

So angry at stupid driving by Massa - ruined race for Dan R - and himself - should get penalty IMO only incidental contact and therefore a bit unlucky - but completely unnecessary contact and entirely Massa's fault Really? To me it looked like a 50-50 racing incident or even that Dan went for a gap...

Glasnost, I actually had the same idea and I'm not surprised at all someome brought it up.

Aussie Grit

Heart says Daniel Ricciardo. Head says Vettel. Went with my head on this one. Hamilton is an outside bet but it would take a bizarre set of circumstances. Made the exact same choice. I also agree with Zoue, ric and vettel better get atleast a decent start or those ferrari's will eat them up. Taking...

Aussie Grit

Gotta kill some time with a poll, very straight forward as the title suggests. Will the guy after turn1 run away with it? Will a safety car intervene? Will Mercs tyres suddenly decide to switch on? Will Ricciardo jump seb off the line? (Crosses fingers) Or will specdecible streak it across the road ...

Yeah I believe they'll get the newest parts, engine.. Fuel etc.
I'm also interested in livery, what sorta colours can we expect?

Aussie Grit

Both redbulls are doing well.

Aussie Grit

Should be interesting when perez's tyres start to go, good opportunity for Ric.

Aussie Grit

Thanks for update. Are Mercedes 2 stopping? Is everybody else 3 stopping or just a short first stint, are Nicos times good enough to take p2 by the time he stops? Merc look to be two stopping, most others look to be three stopping. Rosberg comes out in third. Vettel also looks to be two stopping, s...
