Unfortunately at the moment we have no vacancies in either GP2 or F1.
I'll add you to the waiting list for now.

We're quickly nearing the point at which we can start, just waiting on 1 F1 manager and 2 GP2 managers before everyone has submitted their choices.
However, as a number of you are falling foul of this, I'd like to just remind you of this section of the rules in the driver bias section:
I.E: Re-allocating 50 perf points to quali and 50 perf points to race skill is perfectly legal. However re-allocating 50 perf points to quali and 51 to race skill would be illegal as that would total up to 101 perf points.
For the managers who are currently falling foul of this rule, for the time being I've split the amount of perf points you've specified equally over both skills, however if you wish to change this send another pm.

- For 2007, managers will only be able to reallocate a maximum of 100 perf points in total per event.

Parente Tops Rain Soaked GP2 Practice
Nakajima on his way to second overall
As the start of the long awaited Formula One season nears it was the newly revived GP2 series which paved the way for the big guys down under in Melbourne Australia. With little to no testing prior to this event everyone was eagerly waiting to see who would be the front runners of the feeder series, however a heavy rain storm just moments after the green flag fell, meaning all meaningful running was limited to just under five minutes, robbed them of this opportunity. On track it was BCN Competition who lead the way with Alvaro Parente finding four tenths on second placed driver Kazuki Nakajima, however with times set later in the session being around 11 seconds slower than Parente's, it is unclear as of yet of who will be strong in quali. Further down the field Dan Wheldon showed promise ending up third after making the switch from Indy Car, however Mike Conway was unable to produce a similar result after taking to the track as conditions worsened. Meanwhile Valentino Rossi could only manage 16th on his single seater debut.
Next up! F1 Free Practice!

Ferrari Leading the Way as 2007 Kicks Off
With the rain storm that plagued the earlier GP2 session well out the way it was time for Formula One to return to the track for free practice ahead of the Australian Grand Prix and it was clear early on that Ferrari had the upperhand. First it was Alexander Wurz who topped the time sheets on his first timed effort with team mate Massa just behind, both with a four tenth gap to last seasons runner up Robert Kubica. As the session went on Massa eventually edged out his new testing mate, post a low 1:24 to go into qualifying as the quickest man in Melbourne whilst Wurz had to make do with second. Further down the field Vitaly Petrov showed a great turn of pace, ending up best of the rest in thrid, Ryan Bricose - who often went well last season in free practice - struggled to adapt to Raikkonen's new McLaren and ended up 12th fastest whilst Toyota also struggled, languishing in 14th and 16th. Next up, our final session of the day GP2 Feature Race Qualifying

Red Bull statement to FP
"Well, that was a very disappointing first test. But we kind of expected it, to be honest. Most of our efforts went into the reliability of the car, which was one of our major drawbacks last season. You know the saying: It's easier to make a reliable car fast than the other way round. Probably we will have a tough qualifying session, too, simply because we lack the power at the moment. But hopefully the reliability will help us in the race. And Ferrari has shown that their engine is working well. We're still new with them and still have to learn quite a bit about this engine, but overall we think it was a logical step to switch to Ferrari and form a unit with our sister team Torro Rosso."

An unfortunate result - it's safe to say that we were caught out by the changing conditions, and as it impacted our setup, this weekend could be a long one...

Albers Heads Arden 1-2 in Second-First GP2 Qualifying
With the storm from free practice long gone, the GP2 teams finally got the chance to stretch their legs at Albert Park. However it didn't take long to see who was on top with Christijan Albers immediately dropping down into the 1:38's on first effort, and effort that would not be matched for the remaining 30 minutes. It also didn't take long for Arden team mate to line up alongside his elder, with the Japanese man posting strong times throughout the session but ultimately missed out on pole. Meanwhile rain master Alvaro Parente showed that his pace in the morning was more than just a fluke after putting his BCN machine 4th, Dan Wheldon was the best placed Indy Car driver in 16th, Rossi and Senna will make up the 5th row and both Minardi machines will start from the last row.

Very happy to see both guys in the top 10 - we're looking forward to what the race brings us
