Australian Grand Prix 2014, Melbourne - Race 1/19

[The_Abyss]

Starting to get really excited now.

I have this feeling that a 'normal' winner will emerge, from one of the main teams. But equally, I have the feeling that some of the lower teams will be running round at 3 seconds a lap slower, and will pick up some great points, maybe even a podium.

Narrow track, unreliable cars. I'm betting the house on a safety car.

I actually wouldn't mind a dry race at all... I mean, the race is going to be unpredictable enough and I think I'd rather see the true order of competitiveness.

So horner is now saying that the rb didn't have heat issues at the last test!?
It reminds me of the "we haven't got a flexie wing" saga.

Pretty sure they were heating up the car just fine, cooling it down though, that's another matter

Looks like the qualifying will be live on Sky 1 for those who don't have the F1 channel

Also got my £2.95 Now Tv 24 hour sports pass for the race, so works out much cheaper than buying the whole sky sports package

Hmm. Black and silver livery on the McLaren?

I hope so, was never a fan of the red on their car.

Force India will be running a new lighter chassis this weekend, shedding around 10kg of weight.

Good news for someone with a frame like Nico's.

I've done exactly the same. Fingers crossed the quality is acceptable

They have just chopped the giant black ***** off the nose.

What you doing for all the other races. As its usually £9.99 a day. Which makes it much mire expensive, let alone if you want to watch practice as well.

Half on bbc and I bought the now tv box with 5 passes for £35, then a couple of passes from eBay.

Not ideal as I'll miss qualifying, and I'm at work when practice is on, but can't afford £28 per month for the sky sports package, so this seemed like the next best /cheapest option

The 24 hour pass is a pain for F1, as you can't watch both Qualifying and the Race.

That's not bad seeing as you got a load at that price.

Looks like it may look more like the West livery.

 

[Skeeter]

Indeed. Or the Jonny Walker one.
