Aussie GP

Wife just happens to be on a girls' night out, might get to see the whole damn thing. Normally it becomes desperately important to vacuum something just around start time.

I just watched qualifying.

The big question is what on earth have Honda been doing for the past year and a half, saw the times in Q1 and was like  :eek:  They will be lapped by half the field in the race (if they don't break down)  Alonso is probably sitting at home pondering how to get out of that contract.

Yeah, Lewis' reaction was great.

Arnie is doing a series of commercials down here, think they're real-estate related, though I think Qantas and Rolex were the major sponsors, maybe the real-estate guys had a chunk of the GP.

Perhaps Red Bull brought Arnie down, think they're based in Austria. My kid and I were heckling the TV during the interviews: "OK Nico, nau zay it in Ghermun. K'mahn, you can dou it!"

Arnie did a much better job than many of the other interviewers which were more awkward moments than interviews. Kinda like the interview movie.

LOL  must be a wife thing, happens at my house all the time. I'm sure back in the Roman times when husbands would lay on their benches to watch the chariot race, their wife would pick up the broom and start sweeping the floor in front of him. It's genetics......we're screwed

  Agreed!    I had hopes for this season with the return of honda but it looks like nothing will change until Bernie is 6ft under.

   I havent missed a race since the early 80's but if this noozefest continues this season I might not go out of my way to make sure I see the races.

Malaysia was a pretty good race.  Nice to see some resurgence of form at Ferrari, they had the pace for a 1-2 finish if Kimi hadn't had the puncture. I just hope Ferrari build a car that both drivers like and not shift all focus to Vettel like RB did.

Listening to Mercedes team radio also reminded me of all the reasons why I'm not a fan of Hamilton.

I like Louis but it was really nice to see a red car win, just wish it was the other one.  Also would have been nice if Marcus Ericcson would have kept it on track he was on a tear.  I don't care what the announcers say I think the Saubers look awesome, and they are performing well too.  Toro Rosso > Red Bell :ahand

I have no doubt that Honda will get it sorted and produce a decent power unit.
McLaren aren't complaining about results or progress, quite the opposite.
Even Alonso and Button are positive regards the future of McLaren Honda being competitive
in the latter part of this season.
Ferrari seemed to have nailed it, split the Merc's in qualifying and won the race.  They have shown themselves
to be back in the constructors fight for sure.
I hope Williams pick up from last season, I always had a soft spot for that team and 
Bottas will be F1 Champ' one day I'm sure.

  You must be old! :old:

  I miss the turbo days in the early 80's,where you could add all the boost you wanted but you had better be careful or you might run out of fuel on the last lap!


   I had to laugh at Louie tho,"dont talk to me when I'm in the curves......" :rofl :rofl  The spoiled brat shows his true colours.


  Oh well,he can always go drive nascar when he cant handle the curves anymore,they only need to turn left!

While I enjoyed the Aussie GP, the real race was the Moto GP with Rossi taking the win.  The top 4 guys passed each other 100 times easy.  One of the most exciting races ever with Ducati finding some unbelievable power and faster than anything top speed and acceleration.
