2016 Australian GP
Well, it's time for reality to strike. Today, a fleet of 747 freight planes will have taken off from London bound for Melbourne brim full of the very latest F1 cars ready to do battle around the park circuit.
Let's see who was sandbagging, or punching above their weight during the 8 days of testing! |

yep. getting excited!
have to say though, i have really enjoyed this off season. lots of great debates on the state of F1 which i have really enjoyed but i am now looking forward to talking about (or complaining about) the actual on track stuff. |

Despite all the negativity and confusion over the way the sport is being run, I still look forward to the season like any other. Hopefully it'll be one of the closest in years

Actually very interested in what will happen this weekend coming??First how will Channel 4 be received?They have enough people and EJ and DC are both there,plus they are advertising on TV with the Fleetwood Mac "Chains" which presumes it will feature in the prelim!!Excellent stuff!
Meanwhile Mr Bling has had as much back from Nico as he has given in repartit.I really hope Nico blows him off into the weeds this year,and fully establishes himself as Mercs top driver.I therefore am quite excited by the prospects of a decent race,and maybe Manor Mercedes above McLaren and Haas!!???I wish, but McLaren have to sort themselves out this year. |

Gutierrez eliminated while putting in a lap that would have easily saved him.
