McLaren has so I think everyone else has too .I excpect McLaren to win in Melbourne because new Mercedes is engine was very reliable and also powerfull in last week test .

the mclaren wing was the one across the gear box the fia wanted it made stronger.

Renault have changed nothing on their car, bmw have made changes.

But ferrari have not changed their front wings they are going to run them on friday and see what happens. The FIA have not asked them to change them so their in the right.

oh and for everyone in australia murry walker will be commentating on the race. i dunno if england will get that feed aswell. SHould be awesome ill be in america but im defo taping it to relive some murray magic lol

Lol. Thats nice !

Have Muzza back!!

He will probably call Raikonen Hakkinen

The Midland a Mclaren or Jordan :P

Who remembers on (i think) F1 1997 (game) where he says "thats a [insert car]" but it tended to be wrong :P Like hit a Mclaren "Thats a Ferrari!"

---

"Trulli was slowing down like he wanted to have a picnic" LOL

yeah i remember F1'97, and murray and martins funny comments.

Murray: "this year, Jordan have an oval air intake, it'll be interesting to see how that affects their performance"

yes, amazingly interesting Murray!

Martin: "he's really become one with the car now"

hahahaha rofl good old murry :D:D:D

Incidently today i found his biography, old one, before 1996 i think... cant remember lol..

Ermmm B.O.T isnt the weather app. bad for Quali (again :P).

I did think this race would go to Ferrari initially, i mean they're immense here.. but its supposedly cooler than expected... if so im expecting Mclaren to struggle, like in testing.. and Renault to go vrummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm into the distance with a trailing Honda of Jenson.... hopefully rubens has sorted his problems because he runs well in Aus

I don't expect McLaren to win, but at least be ahead of Honda. Renault is still ahead. We'll see how reliable the Renault could be this weekend.

Ferrari wont struggle as much as people might think. But Williams will be ahead of Ferrari.

forget it
new news has been brought to my attention :P

Thats what I initially thought, but RossB said that he says Ferrari wont be as good as thought, due to them (and prob every1) not expecting the temperature to be as cold as it is.

I'd back it up, but my source was F1-Live, and unfortunatly the news has been archived, meaning non-members cant access it :/

Ferrari will race with modified wings in this weekend

its the same wing only now it was a piece with the nose cone to cover the hole when it flexes, and the part of the upper element that attaches to the nose has been made thinnner too
