I think it's nice and am glad that it's more of a Rothmans-era-influence rather than a replica. For once, I'm actually not disappointed that Williams arent keeping their winter test livery for the season.by elemental - F1
Cancel it! I'm karting that weekend, so I'd get to see the first race, and it'd be in Australia again - doubly sweet :pby elemental - F1

Frankly, I'd be fine even if it was Martin alone and he spent half the race not saying anything. Welcome DC!by elemental - F1
This is bullshit. I'm totally with Brundle, if these guys don't want to race, go push for a rule to race only in dry conditions. This is normal wet conditions. It's ridiculous.by elemental - F1
Klien driving this week instead of a food-poisoned Yamamoto. Chandhok to probably never drive in F1 again then.by elemental - F1

It seems legal to me due to the message "safety car in this lap". That suggests that the race did not finish under the safety car but was allowed to go green before the line. That would be different to still being in a "safety car period" until the chequered flag and the safety car pitting in to let the cars take the flag in their positions.by elemental - F1
Q1 won't be an issue. The bottom six drivers will be from the three new teams, accidents/weird issues aside. I could understand some frustration with the drivers if Q1 made the grid but it doesn't as far as most are concerned.by elemental - F1

Think the Virgin is inherently faster but not very easy to drive. Sucks to be Senna or Chandhok though. That car makes the Lotus look great, which just baffles me.by elemental - F1
