Australian GP 2009 - Race 1/17 (NOT in HD BTW)

[jaykay]

Big season with lots of changes to the aerodynamics and wheels. With slicks coming back in 2009 after so many years. Don't know the exact figure. And the aerodynamic changes meaning Brawn have jumped from bottom of the pack to high flyers could see this year being exciting. Will Mclaren catch back any speed in Australia or will we have to wait till Bahrain or even longer. Could Ferrari stop Brawn stealing the show or will have to be Toyota/Williams to stop them. We will see.

No HD coverage on BBC until maybe next year - not sure where I read this, maybe a link from the main 2009 F1 thread - the 60+ page behemoth

No It's an hour less in bed, so it'll seem like getting up an hour earlier. All the more reason to stay up all night
