Formula 1 - 2015

I wonder what the ultimate line up for Sauber will be, given the GVD court battle. I'm also still mad that Manor (former Marussia) didn't give Rossi a seat.

I am very much worrying about maclaren is going to have the worst start of the season ever.....

DLSTR

Yes but after a few races they will be fine. They are open about this race being one to gain mileage on the car.

I am kinda surprised by the persistent of the engine problems, consider they have had so many months to develop the engine, plus maclaren might have given them info on the mercedes power unit.

and honda usually can fix up issue quite quickly.


looking at the result of both FPs, really hope ferrari can give a challenge to the mercedes duo, at least there's something other than medcedes-powered running at the front.

it will be very interesting to see how will the mercedes drivers handle the 1st corner.

and the battle from 3rd to 7th will be interesting.

not a fan of ferrari but best wish cos they are the only non-mercedes that is competitive.

and how many laps can mclaren finish??

Now the weather is rainy over night in Melbourne so the track will be green and clean. Also it will be 19C / sunny for the race, but about 11 degree's cooler than qualy! Turn 1 with not so warm soft tires - low grip and aggression

They are dropping like flies and the lights haven't even gone out.

Nice analysis of this not so great race here from the BBC F1 site - BBC Sport - Australian GP: Lewis Hamilton's natural ability hides F1 cracks

it is somewhat a disappointed race, never seen an opening race with such low numbers of starters.

the highlight is McLaren was able to finish the whole race, regardless what power were they running at, to able to finish 58 laps is quite something for its honda unit... and to Button for putting some exciting fights against Perez... lol

the race wasn't that bad though, especially seeing Raikkonen coming back from 8-9(?) to 5th... only at the end his race was ruined by a faulty rear-wheel (or wheel gun, or wheel nut what so ever...)

but glad to see a non-mercedes powered on the podium.


Interestingly, many cars suffered mechanical failure, except for honda, this is the 2nd season they are using the V6 unit, shouldn't they be more well prepared?


And such BS comments from that red-bull guy, marko(?), threaten to quit F1. what the hell wrong with him? threaten to quit because his team is no longer running on top? does he remember his team actually was doing the same thing couple years ago covering 1-2 almost every race finishing 30s ahead of the 3rd place.


I am wondering, with all these regulations changes and technical changes... is it really helping F1 on cutting costs or the other way around..??

now the engine is more complicated, races is less exciting, but the small teams are still suffering from lacking funds.

Use this link - Replay of practice on and for the rest of the weekend. Hot and sunny today! Now with the Sepang circuit we will see who is fast and who is not!
