Not really seenig the point of the studio on SKY, other than ogling Georgie of course. Martin or Damon could just as well have analyzed the lap.

Yeah, it's just flashy for the sake of it. I preferred the bare bones approach of BBC. It's not a huge complaint mind.

Edit: And this way they are presenting the grid sucks too. They need to cut the flashy graphics out and make it easier to see whats what at a glance.

Lotus may still protest Mercedes, There waiting for a clarification from Charlie Whiting.

Lotus could've been 3 and 4. A pity but not the end of the world.

Good for Grosjean. After his previous stint with Renault I'd never have imagined he'd make a comeback like this.

Also, it's a bit ironic that a decade ago I couldn't wait to be rid of Schumacher and here we are today thinking "how nice to have Schumacher up there to make things a bit different".

Fantastic qualy, really enjoyed that! mega lap by Lewis and great effort by Grosjean

pole lap 1.4 seconds slower than last year

For stuff like that I agree, However I think when analysing on-track incidents during the race the Skypad will prove more usefull.


Vettel said he made a mistake in the beginning of his last lap.

Even Maldanado was only 0.250s off the Red Bulls

Melbourne looked amazing, great advertisement for the city

-Red Bull having KERS issues: Really? AGAIN? They need to stop taking in interns from Milton Keynes College and Shenley Brook End 6th Form and just get it sorted...
-Kimi was well and truly shown up today, but he was unlucky. Would he have beaten Grojeon? Proberbly not, but he was slighly out of luck
-Fernando needs to realise he's in Australia when he starts getting arsey with the Marshals. I expected the next sentance to be "Well mate, if you were slightly less stupid, you wouldn't have to have me ask you".
-Not a single interview between Q1,Q2,or Q3, and only one non driver interview post Qual from Sky. Bit of a let down, but they proberbly want me to watch adverts for an hour to see them!
-I forget how much I love Crofty, but how much I hate Brundle. Anyone else notice how four times he repeated Croft's point a bout 30 seconds later as though it was never mentioned?
-I have goosebumps for tommorrow, because of one name: Ben ********* Edwards commentating F1! Finally!!!!!!! (Even if it will be a highlight reel

True, it was useful when they had a look at the Alonso incident so it may prove it's worth.

I think Damon has been been excellent, makes some very good points and is an upgrade on Eddie.

Big pile up in the V8 support race 2 at the Australian GP.

What a day that was!! Lewis P1, Schumi P4, that's amazing. Just can't wait for the race. I think it will be a cracker.

Perfect grid: McLarens on the front row, Ferrari so far away and Vettel behind Webber.
Yeah, yeah, but what it makes it really better is how many impressive performances we saw today: Grosjean was epic, Maldonado and Hulkenberg fantastics too. And I really believe that Ricciardo and Vergne are very good materials.

What a fantastic qualifying session!! Best qualifying in a lot of time!! Grosjean did an amazing job, Schumacher lap was great, amazing to see how he improved from his return in 2010 until now. Great to see Schummy flying again. Tomorrow's race will be insane!! The start will be just amazing, there is a lot of possibilities and its going to be very interesting to see how strong will be the Mercedes car with he DRS during the race. Can't even sleep now after such a great session.

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.

Well, with the way Mercedes have a car that's hooked up to the track I'd say getting rid of Costa was a bad move.
