2013 Formula 1 World Championship

[The Apostle]

Honda making a return to F1.

[Strawb]

Honda making a return to F1.

Looking forward to that

[The Apostle]

Hulkenberg won't be in the race...team couldn't get the car to the grid...fuel system issue.

[The Apostle]

Another dreadful start by Webber...

[The Sleeping Giant]

Might get a sprinkle of rain

[The Apostle]

Both Ferrari's sitting pretty...

[W.P.U.J.C.Vaas]

Great racing so far, shame it isn't webber fighting both the ferraris up front.

[Jim05]

Another dreadful start by Webber...

Dead set dud when it comes to his starts

[Jim05]

Kimmi wins, Alonso 2nd, Vettel 3rd, Webber 6th
Great win by Lotus

[The Apostle]

Winner will be one of the Red Bulls...the dark horse of the race will be the Mercedes...

WRONG!

Keep an eye on Hamilton, Alonso and Raikkonen at the start...all on the racing side of the grid.

All finished 5th or better.

[Jim05]

Still a sexy looking car

[The Apostle]

Red Bull would be massively disappointed with that race...

[Sky Pilot]

You are right. That team does not adapt to failure very well. Malaysia will suit their brute force more than Albert Park IMO.

[RustyCage]

turns out Webbers poor start was due to an ECU failure, which also stripped him of KERS

[W.P.U.J.C.Vaas]

never saw kimi coming from behind to win, but that could possibly be due to 10s constant ad breaks! Was a good race, got all excited when massa & alonso where infront for a bit.

How will the teams fair going from one extreme weather climate to another in Sepang this weekend? Another red bull front row?

[Ogilthorpe]

Anyone with any advice on going to the Melbourne Grand Prix? First time for me since it left Adelaide where I didnt miss a race. Will only be there for the Sunday so was looking at the turn 15 premium zone. Staying in St Kilda and plan to hop a tram or walk.

you definitely have a bonus with qualifying this morning too!

Very much so. Watched Q1 in the airport bar while waiting for the flight. My little celebration dance complete with backspins got a few strange looks when they announced the postponement !!

Was a good day at the track. Only gripe was the line ups at the bars. Apart from that my 17 year boycott may be over for good.

Thanks again for all the advice, come in very handy and was on the money

[The Apostle]

Vettel again!...

Fourth race in a row that Massa has out-qualified Alonso...
