Thanks, I had not seen that, always nice to watch these types of documentaries.

Less than 6 hours to 1st practice and some late hour drama to boot.

Yikes,
What a boring race.

**hutash** · 03-15-2015, 03:12 PM

What do you mean, there were all those exciting breakdowns and cars that never made it to the grid

Wow!!! an eleven car race, one of which couldn't get out of its own way, now that is excitement.

**Ski to Be** · 03-15-2015, 03:18 PM

Pretty sad when Free Practice 3 is more exciting than the race.

**Vt-Freeheel** · 03-15-2015, 07:08 PM

Some failure to start, a little bump here and there, some stuck wheel nuts and Louis takes the flag. Only 19 to go.

Melbourne - rain = Boring

New rules about multiple point fuel flow measurement introduced over the weekend.

Someone obviously found a loophole and has been able to beat the old FIA sensor.

The (a further) key to Mercedes advantage or perhaps how Ferrari has caught up on hp?

You got to hand it to the engineers. They are good at finding ways around just about any FIA regulation.

Martin Brundle sums up well here - http://www1.skysports.com/f1/news/22...1-in-australia

The cars being apparently so more sensitive to wind gusts this year with accidents in pre-season testing and free practice is kind of worrying. Wouldn't want that to happen at somewhere like maggots/becketts corners at a typically windy Silverstone.

F1 seems like a mess right now. Lost the German GP. These heavy handed regulations are really crippling the sport. Since when did hybrid fuel economy equal exciting racing. I could care less about fuel flow restrictions and mandatory pit stops. I want to see the fastest cars in the world. If it is a constructors series then allow full development time year round and share more money with the financially challenged teams

**Svengali** · 03-21-2015, 07:36 PM

Bernie is just paying back the German's for their previous scrutiny of Bernie's investment practices
RedBull:maybe that Austrian Bull Semen is shorting out their energy recovery systems?

**Benny Profane** · 03-21-2015, 09:51 PM

Bernie will be dead soon. I hope.

Anyone catch the Rosberg/Vettel spat this week? Kind of made me a Rosberg fan, great little exchange.

Kimi splitting the Mercs in FP 1/2, hopefully some bit of excitement this weekend. Not holding breath.

**PNWbrit** · 03-27-2015, 09:34 AM

Mercs probably had the dimmer switch turned way down.

RedBull/Renault dirty laundry airing is getting ugly.

**Ski to Be** · 03-29-2015, 10:27 AM

Looks like Ferrari has closed the gap. Alonso has to be upset with himself.

Hopefully this continues and makes it slightly interesting. Nice job by Verstappen, 17 and scoring points in F1, not to mention plenty of supermodels putting out. Fred is still thinking they will win this year [rollseyes].

**Percy Rideout** · 04-01-2015, 10:25 AM

Guys, I think we missed some very important news last month.

She's very

Talented.

**PNWbrit** · 04-13-2015, 04:31 PM

Very odd race....

Although Max Verstappen looks like he really might be as has been claimed, so often and about so many "the next Senna"

17 years old.

Unbelievable. See embedded video here.

Great drive by Kimi. A slightly different strategy and he'd have had Hamilton.

**Ski to Be** · 04-20-2015, 10:47 AM

Surprisingly good season so far. Rosberg seems to crack when under pressure from behind. He blamed it on the brakes but it has happened too many times for me to believe it. I am happy Kimi finally had a race without bad luck. What has happened at Renault ? Not sure how you take a step backward but they have.

**Vt-Freeheel** · 04-20-2015, 03:20 PM

Made my day to see Kimi on the podium.

ANALYSIS: HOW RED BULL MOVES TOWARDS F1 END GAME WITH AUDI

That'd be a brave decision for Audi.

Seeing how badly Honda is doing at the moment.

Although I wouldn't be completely surprised if they finally get that power unit working.. considering how badly they were doing they've caught up a lot. It's such a shame to see Alonso wasting another year though.
