2012 Australian Grand Prix Discussion Thread

What I can see so far is:

-Schuamcher is back to his 2006 form
-McLaren are back to their 2007 form
-Hamilton is back to his 2008 form
-Ferrari are even worse than their 2009 form
-Webber, Caterham, Lotus and Williams are back to their 2010 form
-HRT are back to their 2011 form

What a start to the year!

This is why Channel Ten are crap. They think we'd rather listen to Vettel and Hamilton than watch the V8s. If it was Webber or Ricciardo, I'd understand it, but why the two most hated drivers in Australia?

Semi-Off Topic time and I've just found out that one Heinz-Harald Frentzen is racing in the Porsche Carrera cup series this weekend.

You've only just discovered that? You need to pay more attention.

Hamilton sizing up Perez. When do we think he'll crash into him?

Perez is pulling an Andera de Cesaris.

Post by **Londoner** » 18 Mar 2012, 07:02

Safety car out because of Petrov's stranded Caterham. This is gonna screw Hamilton methinks

the Masked Lapwing · Post by **the Masked Lapwing** » 18 Mar 2012, 07:08

The good news is Webber's back in it. The bad new is, so is Vettel. It's just like last year, isn't it?

Cynon · Post by **Cynon** » 18 Mar 2012, 07:13

Maldonado has been the surprise package today. He's still holding on to Webber and Alonso.

Kobayashi rear wing damage

Brundle: The Williams is the faster car, there's no doubt about it.

I didn't think I'd hear THAT for a while :lol:

Fernando, Pastor is faster than you

RealRacingRoots · Post by **RealRacingRoots** » 18 Mar 2012, 07:28

After watching Di Resta getting passed by both Toro Rossos, I want an update to the DRS which makes it that if the car in front got passed by the car second in the queue in the first zone/under braking, the car that is third in the queue will not be able to activate his DRS in the second zone.

Another reason why I don't like DRS.

EDIT: Wild defensive chop by Kobayashi, JEZUZ.
