Won't rain, it never does, when we get a little rain is goes away very fast, we never got a properly wet race at Melbourne and I doubt we will... at least we had some very entertaining wet sessions in the past... but when it comes to Melbourne it doesn't make that difference, Melbourne is such a beautiful place and such a nice track that either way we are going to have fun.

I've noticed that if you get a Lap 1 SC, the race is awesome. if not, it's pretty dull.

So yeah, it'll be sunny and hot.

It's Melbourne, it will probably randomly rain for the hell of it at some stage.

Flying down on Wednesday, going to be a hooooooot.

I had a dream last night that Michael crashed his car in the last corner on the inside wall which caused the car to desintegrate and him being launched into the pit.

He died.

Yeah, pretty bad dream.

it used to be normal in fact. Buenos Aires and Interlagos in the seventies/eighties. Then a two months break until the European season started.

1959-60 actually holds the record for shortest off-season.

1959 US GP on December 12th, 1960 Argentine GP on February 7th. Little under two months. While South African GP was held in first week of new year, the previous season had ended in October, therefore making the break longer.

Of course, 2011 season ended in the final weekend of November which makes it shorter break now, compared to the years when season ended in first weekend of November (like 2008) or even in October.
