Only 11 pages so far? For Australian GP 2009 there was 65 pages by the Saturday evening (145 in total). http://www.tbk-light.com/phpBB3/viewtop ... start=1280
I also used to post plenty of screenshots, perhaps 10-20 per weekend, so that's almost 1 entire page.

Let's hope the race tomorrow provides some surprises (Stroll crashing out isn't one).


A lot of people have left/post less thanks to the likes of Twitter.

Wow, some big gaps there to Ferrari and Mercedes.
Red Bull + 1 second
Williams, Haas, STR + 2 seconds
Force India, Renault, McLaren + 3 seconds
Sauber + 4 seconds

Well, still early days. As always, great job by Hamilton, Vettel and Alonso, getting the maximum out of the car.
Grosjean had a great qualifying, too. Too bad for Giovinazzi, could have beaten Ericsson.
Raikkonen with his +0,6 to Vettel, Stroll, Palmer and Magnussen were disappointing.


Fox sports in Australia have been running old F1 races from the 80's and 90's and the gaps back then from the leader were gargantuan, both in the qualy and race......BUT.....due to the randomness of reliability there was also quite a high percentage of lower teams making the podium and points, ironically making the playing field more level.

Anyone know when the support races are off?

Australian TV are filling time with whatever spurious speculation they can but no racing so far

I was watching this (Ten): http://motorsport.hopto.org

and there was not even car sounds when the Aus GT race was supposed to be on. Next one should V8 and then Carrera Cup.

Ricciardo will start 15th with a new gearbox.

Dangerously close to Stroll.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

How many drivers will mess their starts with the new clutch rules?

I say two.

Well, That'll be a great test for the new regs then

It's not a track where being down on horsepower is a massive issue, and we know the Red Bull aero is good and D-Ric is one of the best overtakers on the grid, so if he can't make his way through the midfield guys, we'll know there's too much aero to be able to put on good racing.

What was confusing me with this stream was the owner (Is it Darcy?) was flicking between live action and a replay of qualy (as I type, it has switched from Carrera cup Ads to a replay of Qualy)
So sometimes I was watching live build up and others seemingly build up from Yesterday.

Oh well, it's his stream, his rights to do with it what he wants ;)

It's run by another Aussie guy. It might be a problem with the stream actually.

Gosh this season is going to nerve-wracking as Bottas & Kimi are often likely to start close together. The worst nightmare is that they collide at the start. I'm sure it will happen at least once.
