Ding! Ding! Round 1 - Melbourne.

Here we go again!!
Formula 1 is back!!
I'm in Mexico, so the Qualifying was on at a not-unreasonable midnight, ill 01:00 ....
I caught Q1, Q2, ...... then a replay of Chivas (local famous football team from Guadalajara) at 02:30 .... DAMN!!
Missed the Q3.

Never mind, 'my guys' are 1 and 2.
I want one of them to win - preferably Lewis - but let's hope it's not Lewis doing a Seb Vettel this season and walking away at every race - makes it boring.

Don't think so somehow!
Seb won't accept it - certainly not Adrian Newey and Horner from Red Bull - and the 'midfield' are closer to the front than previously they reckon.

Is the Mercedes rear wing re-directing air, permitting an even better DRS?
Is it illegal?
Another cloud on the F1 scene - and not McLaren, Red Bull or Ferrari .... yet!!

Anyone who doesn't follow F1 - I know, this is total jibberish to you!!

Nice job mate.
I've got 2 Argentinians - I think - ranting in Spanish, and dubbing over occasional English commentary .... !!
Pictures are still good, and they pick the main things up quite well as well.

Can't wait to return and see what the Sky Team are like.

I really like the efforts Jake, Eddie, DC and Martin B put in over on the Beeb - shame they're separated.
Beeb always have done a good job on Sports, particularly F1.
Sky will have to be really clever how they present it, without going too high-tech.
It's a 'B-B-Cue Sport' and beers flow whilst watching it, so it's nice to have good well-founded technical insight, .... but not too much!!

With any luck it will be a great season with stiff competition up to the end like 2010.
I refuse to sign up to sky for this. Motorsports is paid for and supported by grass-roots always has been always will be and to then sell it to the highest bidder for those who can pay is just a smack in the face of decades of support. In fact Im moving to a country where it is broadcst live...Australia!
Go Ozzies (slim chance)

Webber, in Oz, and in a Red Bull isn't a bad mix.
I'd still put money on him for a top 3 or 4 finish.
Looks like a dry race (??) so nothing spectacular is going to happen.
It's not Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost on the front row for McLaren ..... is it?
Wonder who this season's controversial characters are going to be .....
Is Kimi going to stay the season, or just 'get bored and walk away' ..... AGAIN!!
