Formula One - 2008 - Round 1 Austrailian Grand Prix March 14-16

F1 is here!

Thoughts on Round one?


here is a snip from the Thursday press conference:

Q: (Marco Degl’Innocenti - La Gazzetta dello Sport) Fernando, today Ron Dennis said that he misses you and considers you a very great driver. Are you pleased about that?
FA: I really don’t care too much. It seems that Flavio speaks every week, now Ron as well. It’s all okay but it’s not very important to me at the moment. I’m very concentrated on this first race. We still have to do a lot of work on the car if we want to be competitive enough to fight for races, victories, so I really don’t care what people say.
Still a damn snake...

Poor old Sebastian Bourdais...he's not used to being in a losing team. I'm hoping he spanks Vettel for the sake of Champ cars reputation

If a 4 time champ like him can't beat a relative novice like Vettel it'll make me laugh!

Wow what a race. Alonzo did a really good job keeping Hiki behind him towards the end of the race. Also with the traction control removed from these cars, the race was more entertaining to watch. Anyone else watch the race?

Also great job for sebastian bourdais! Too bad the ferrari motor couldn't hold up. He would have done much better.

Nearly a dream start. I think he proved his point though.

Yeah this race was crazy. 3 safety cars? I think the last race like that was Montreal last year. Should be an exciting season.

Lewis looks very strong, but the "best of the rest" should be a very interesting fight...
