2014 Australian GP Official Thread
So with just over a week until the cars role out in Fridays Practice for the first round of 2014 F1 championship, it feels like its time to get the official thread up and running. I always like the opening weekend thread to be opened early so we can get straight into it.
I was generally not looking forward to 2014 that much, with many things I consider stupid to be in F1 again this year. However testing and the potential excitement of an unpredictable start of the season has got me pumped again. :bounce:
