Memories. I remember feeling a bit nauseous from the air being pushed out and sucked back in behind a car as it missiled past. (Could've been the 50 beers but I'll go with wobbly air).


Before Melbourne stole it, the Grand Prix was held in Adelaide at a far superior circuit.

There was a spot between turns 1, 2 and onto 3 - the cars came through at blistering speed. The flick change of direction at those corners defied physics.

Unlike the 50 yards or more of today, in those days we could actually be within a dozen feet of the cars. The noise and vibrations and the air throw of that era hurt my face so much that I was left with sore teeth.


Nobody wanted to talk, why talk during an F1 race - feel the power was what it was all about. Whenever I read that today's "quiet cars are good because it allows us to talk during the race", I throw up in my mouth.


F1 needs to die so that it can be re-born in its old likeness.
