TBK-Light.com :: Formula 1 Rolex Australian Grand Prix - March 13-16

I found the reaction of the crowd to Vettel's lap to be pathetic.
And it has made me realize than when I'm going to the Spanish GP in May, I'm gonna be in the middle of a pack of 120 000 hardcore Alonso fanboys who will cheer for him and for nothing else. I hope he sucks during that particular race.

#F1 In first interview after qualifying, Helmut Marko hadn't realized Ricciardo was beaten for pole by Lewis. Marko was told eventually.

Just wait until Hamilton grabs pole in front of them :slaphead:

More testament to the belief that the Red Bull has absurd levels of grip and that once Renault get their shit sorted out they will be winning by 2 laps.

Everyone else in Q3 on inters made a mistake. Alonso started on them and had to switch to wets.

Did FOM show how Kimi lost the car? If so, I missed it

Is it just me, or was everything Lotus did completely stupid? It's pouring rain, the car is clearly fundamentally broken, Romain is out on slicks, and they're telling him to drive faster. They're lucky he didn't tell them to go fuck themselves. I know Red Bull are having issues (Renault said the software went all BSOD on Sebastians car), and that some others like Caterham are looking bad, but Lotus don't even seem in the ball park, and yet seem to be pushing the drivers to improve. I

And hearing the tyres is also awesome

Funny, I've read lots of people saying they can now hear the tires squeal but have yet to hear it myself? I must not be paying enough attention, or I don't have the volume up high enough.

Anyone got a video where it's particularly obvious?

Couldn't find a great example, but found this clip on YouTube:

At about 11:49 Alonso starts to brake for turn 1 and locks up his right front. Lovely sound caputed there as well.

Williams were disappointing come Q3.

That was live on RTL this morning. Was funny hearing him talk about it like that - but as RTL didn't say a word (surely they mixed it up as well), I started to worry about my attention. Funnily Niki Lauda also got it wrong, if I remember correclty saying something like "I'd rather would have had Hamilton on pole, but it's great nonetheless." Funny stuff.

Williams were only slow in Q3 because they made the wrong tyre choice.

I hope we can see a dry race. Not that I don't want emotion but I think the rule changes are enough emotions for now. We need to see what teams and drivers are capable of in dry conditions first.

I'm expeting some 15-18 cars to finish it now

I hope he sucks during that particular race. Although I agree, the fact you can actually hear the crowd over the engines I found amazing. That's going to make for some old-school atmosphere at some races this season, particularly silverstone and Brazil. A lot has been bitched about the 2014 engines, but tbh, they don't sound terrible. And the fact you can hear team radio clearly and add to that the possibility of hearing the crowd? I'm now in favour of them
