2011 Australian Grand Prix Thread

[steveaki13]

I know its a little early but after a two week extended break I am impatient to get going.

At least we now have a proper opening Grand Prix weekend at a proper Venue.

With only a couple of days until the F1 circus begins again, I thought it time to open the Oz GP thread for all thing Round 1.

So Ladies and Gentleman lets start the engines as F1 2011 is here.

A bit overkill on my intro, but I am excited as I'm sure you all are, and can't wait for the first wheel turn.

Yes can't wait

For UK/Europe fans who are planning to get up to watch the race live on Sunday morning - don't forget the clocks go forward an hour this weekend. If you get up to watch the race at 7am GMT, the Red Bulls will already be a lap ahead! (Possibly.)

Planning to get up not just Sunday but also at stupid o'clock for practice on Friday and Saturday!

Best time of year to be an F1 fan

The long winter's nearly over and the expectation for the season ahead is ramping up.

I love the Melbourne track and it proves that you don't need a multi-billion dollar monstrosity to provide great racing. There isn't any sand to worry fret over, most Aussies are crazy but not in the middle of a political revolution, and lastly the layout of the track won't make me fall asleep within 15 minutes of watching the race.

Excited? That's an understatement. Let's roll, baby. Let's roll!

I'd like to get up and watch all sessions in the early hours.

But I work in a physical job and a night without sleep then a hard days work is not on, but I will watch FP3 and Quali, then obviously the race.

Absolutely cannot wait. This off season has been so loooong!

I fly out of Brisbane headed for Melbourne early Thursday morning!
