I will be up for saterday Quali,and also sunday for the race,then satalite dish down,all packed and on the road,and out of Spain,by lunchtime into France on the wayback to UK after wintering in Spain for last 3 months.Daughter in Brisbane (know its probably 1000 miles north of Melbourne) says they have had rain,rain and more rain,this last week.So could be interesting if they have rain too,its a great leveller !

Again! don't rely on the weather forcast herre. We were supposed to have a lot of rain today in Melbourne, but not one drop fell. But for those who wish to check the weather radar for themselves, here's the link: http://www.bom.gov.au/weather/radar/
the just click on Melbourne on the map.

As Ari said - the trip by tram is veryconvenient - probably only 15 minutes. So he will have the best of both worlds. And the tram is free for anyone with a Grand Prix ticket.

He will watch both...how about you ?

I'll be out onFriday so i'll have to catch up on FP 1&2 (god bless the BBC iPlayer), I'll definitely get up for qualifying and the race though.

Haven't been so excited for a new F1 season to start for a long time

I am not excited for this season as I was at the beginning of 2009 and 2010, mainly because I expect a total RBR domination. But because it's Melbourne and rain is expected, I'll watch the race and hopefully it will be an interesting GP.

pino, as much as I love F1, I can't afford to go this year. I've just had a great ski holiday at Niseko - lotsa powder. Am already saving up for next year.

Well, it rained down at Wilson's Promontary and caused landslides and evacuations. But we had NO rain here in Melbourne. Best you keep a tab on the weather link I provided above if you want to see what the weather will be like, but if it did rain, the race will be very exciting.

Looking at the weather forecast it seems there will be a lot of cloud around but should be dry.
