Austrialian Grand Prix

[Range Rover Blues]

Well who said that F1 was boring?

I've been on the edge of my seat almost constantly for the last 2 hours or so, what a fantastic start to the season :dance:

I won't spoil it for anyone who wants to watch this afternoon, all I can say is make sure you've got some beers and a crisps handy, you won't want to take you eyes off the screen ;)

If the rest of the season is anything like this I can't wait, the new rules have made a difference to the sport and the new drivers too, the best racing I've watched in ages.  3 thoroughly deserved podium positions, in fact all the top finishers had a damn hard day's work.  Then again they get paid for it :roll:

Roll on Malasia :D

Again, without wanting to ruin it for the rest of you, here's a quick sum up with out the result...
Perfect
What a year its going to be
 :D :D

It was mint wasn't it :D

I loved it when Whats his face in the McLaren sold Rikenen a dummy and he just went sailing into the grass, class move :lol:

[ben_haynes]

funny was this morning after DC got took out by Massa, DC in interview said he was going to kick the T**T's F**King A**E   :lol: :lol:

for those who dont follow DC is David Caulthard (Spelling ???)

[Range Rover Blues]

Yeah, I LMAO at that, DC is normally very composed when he's interviewed, even if he's a little miffed.  I could hardly believe how many peices DCs car was in though after that little tap.

Excellent race. Shame Kimi didnt qualify further up the grid though. I would have liked to have seen him racing Hamilton.
Lewis got a free win there. Which I suppose made up for his last race.

[Range Rover Blues]

I don't know about a free win, he worked hard all weekend.  You could argue that getting himself onto pole was a big part of it but he had to scrap for the lead at the first corner and 3 times his lead was wiped out by the safety car and he had to build it back up again.

I think Kimi was trying too hard a couple of times and took himself out, but reliabilty played a bit part as did driver fitness.  Lewis might have made it look easy but he was just the best prepared, he deserved to win.
