Glad to see some one other than Ferrari and Mclaren up front. Vettel continues to punch his own ticket. He will be able to choose whoever he wants to race for in the near future, not the other way around.

Hopefully Alonso gets on with someone else next year since Renault once again starts the season with a middle of the pack/backmarker.

I couldn stay awake last night. Fell asleep in the chair during Q1. Rewatching this morning while scanning RX8Club. I've read the spoilers and I still need to see the broadcast.

I just finish watching the post race interviews. The thing I found interesting is the friendliness of the drivers. I wonder if they and their teams have been down in the ranking for such a long time they don't have the feeling yet that they are adversaries.

The red bull looks to be in good shape. Vettel made 3rd place in his red bull. I think Webber needs to watch out, because he has a very hungry racer as a teammate.

So, my predictions turned out semi-true.

So while I'm on a roll I will try to predict the race start out of Hamiltons point of view. I suspect he will try to pass as many drivers as possible in the start and break the front wing in turn 1 after passing 4 other drivers.

Trust me, I hope he will have a really good run since I'm a big fan, but I fear the start tomorrow!

I look forward to a great race and I hope Vettel will get a chance to chase those brawn cars for all his worth. A podium finish for him would be great! And a first place, even better!

i am hoping that one of the brawn drivers win. they deserve a 1st place win, since its been a very long time since they did.

gl Rubens Barrichello


btw hamilton car had a gear box change. so he will be starting 18th place since toyota team members are starting way in the back of the grid now

Stewards have sent both Toyotas to the back of the Australian grand prix grid.

The cars driven by Timo Glock and Jarno Trulli, who qualified sixth and eighth respectively on Saturday, were subsequently found to be running rear wings at Albert Park that were too flexible.

It is also believed that Williams is protesting against allegedly flexible wings on the Red Bull and Ferrari cars.

The Toyota demotion means world champion Lewis Hamilton will start the race from eighteenth on the grid, rather than last.

The McLaren-driving world champion qualified fifteenth, but was to move down five further places due to an unscheduled gearbox change.

FIA sets diffuser appeal date



A date has been set for the FIA International Court of Appeal hearing over the diffusers on the Brawn GP, Toyota and Williams cars. It will take place in Paris on April 14 in the week prior to round three of the championship, the Chinese Grand Prix.
------------------------

So it looks like the appeal will be held after the Malaysian GP.
There's been a protest against the rear wing (flex) of Ferrari & Red Bull by Williams. It has since been withdrawn.
http://www.f1technical.net/news/11952
"Williams recognises the possibility that in this area there could be more than one interpretation of the rules and therefore does not feel it appropriate to continue with the protests."
Do you think Williams is trying to send a message to F & RB?
