Hey F1, are you ready for the opening race at Melbourne? 21 days to go!
I can't wait... been playing F1 on the PS3, to pass the time. 41 and still playing video games, with my son of course!!
Curious how this season is going to unfold.... Vettel going to Ferrari, Alonso gone, etc.

Did you guys see the time Daniel Ricciardo did on the Top Gear track? Lewis Hamilton probably can't wait to get back on the show and have another go at it.afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.

Ricciardo is pretty fast and is a talented driver! My money is on Vettel 'tho.
Maldonaldo is at the top of the time sheets as of today, but we'll have to wait until Melbourne to see what happens... I have a feeling some teams are sandbagging in Barcelona testing.SRT Seismic System with dual PSW1200's

So you think Vettel will bring Ferrari back to the top...ahhh. With the Mercedes boys still intact that's going to be tough. My money is always on Hamilton but I'd like to see Ricciardo challenge the Mercedes boy a bit closer this year.Anaheim Hills CA,

I think Vettel will lose to Raikkonen inside the Ferrari team. Now that Allison is designing the car there is actually hope the car is any good (and we have seen what Raikkonen can do in Allison designed car).

I know it is still early practice sessions but Vettel's time almost 2s behind Raikkonen's best. I would have expected a little closer time.

Always been a Kimi fan here so hoping this year is better than last. When he ran the Lotus there were glimmers of hope and you could see the skill and determination was still there. I did not see any of that last year with Ferrari. Fingers crossed that Vetel doesn't get at Kimi's like he did with Webber. I thnk Vettel is a sore loser.
Anyway looking forward to Australia soon! -
I thnk Vettel is a sore loser.
An understatement if there ever was one.

Ricciardo, is bright and talented too! Very fast! He's definitely one to keep on eye on!
I was watching Top Gear last night and the Stig beat up and knocked down Ricciardo's cardboard cutout....... then proceeded to do a lap in the MB AMG GT.SRT Seismic System with dual PSW1200's

Hey guys, getting ready to watch the qualifying Australian GP it's starting in about 10 mins. EST! (2:00am). Wife and son are sleeping and I'm enjoying a cold beer!
Very excited that formula 1 season has begun. I wish all my fellow f1 and Polk friends good luck on their favorite driver/team!
It's going to be a good opening season! Sit back and enjoy the show!SRT Seismic System with dual PSW1200's

Well I hope the season is not another Mercedes leads and the rest of the 11 cars follow way behind. What a poor showing for opening day! 13 cars after the first lap. 4 or 5 did not even make the grid. I hope this is not the future of F1.
Fair race overall but not competitive at all or exciting. They have to do something, bring back fueling or reduce something.... not even DRL is helping, though I knew when they brought it out it was a gimmick to have more passes.
F1 needs to go back to manual shifting and reduced hp with the screaming engines again! Anyone else wanna comment? -
Not what I expected.... 13 cars??? C'mon, bring back refueling, and v10/v12 cars with higher rpms. It was a fair race, but lacking cars. Kimi retiring at lap 41 due to the wheel locknut/stripped threads. The red team needs to do better if they want to catch the silver arrows!

Yeah, 30s behind was 3 place. If it wasn't for the Mercedes boys Vettel would have won.

That's DRS, drag reduction system.F1 needs to go back to manual shifting and reduced hp with the screaming engines again!
I've got no problem with the semi-auto trannies. Your second comment doesn't make sense. The screaming engines were anything but reduced HP.
I knew I'd see a Honda PU go kerblamo and wasn't disappointed. It's going to be a long year for McLaren.Political Correctness'.........defined

Oh yippy,another year of watching Merc demonstration runs with the arrogant little Brit leading the way.Unfortunatey Rosberg does not have the pace to beat him consistantly.The three guys that do don't have enough car.
I still hate the sound of those Turbo hybrids.Give us back the sweet sound of the high reving v10's and 12's.
