Me neither. I did promise to update whether Clark and Waite stands have been erected; but the access road was closed today and I couldn't get onto the northern section of the track today. So, you guys will just have to find out when you get there.
Practice starts in 9 days, and I remember a scintillating lap by one SchM as soon as he hit the track in first practice - the guy just loves this track. |

Eh?!
I think you missed something - there were two red cars driven by the ONLY drivers that were teammates and were up front alongside each other. And you missed the logic, or rather the logic missed you, because when he said a team he was referring to the RED cars. |

Don't get your hopes up, it's far more difficult to overtake in Melbourne than in Bahrain and the place has a tendency to produce dull races. I can't wait. Qualy is going to be close. And I think Virgin & Lotus will improve mightily |

So, you guys will just have to find out when you get there. Melbourne and Montreal must be 2 cities that thoroughly enjoy their GP's. A proper city circuit that's fast, lovely skyline, big city life, good crowds, tons of things do, etc, etc. Must be nice! |

Melbourne have always offered up, better races then Bahrain. I think Mclaren might be faster in Melbourne then they were at Bahrain, they have always been good Melbourne. It should be interesting to see how the teams deal with the higher downforce levels. |

OK, for those coming to Melbourne, there are a couple of events at the MCG which may be of interest: Thursday evening at 7.10 Richmond vs Carlton and Friday evening at 7.40 Essendon vs Geelong.
Then in the mornings, especially if Ferrari are doing well at Practice, there is a superb Cafe Brunetti in Carlton in Faraday St, off Lygon St. , the heart of the Italian Community. Enjoy your visit! |

OK! went past the track this arvo along Queens Road (circuit was closed) but was unable to see any stands where Clarke or Waite might have been. Could not take my eyes off the road for long periods to look for te stands.
My advice, for what it isn't worth, is for race goers who have tickets for these stands on both Practice and Quals to check it out for themselves. Also important is to check if there is the giant telecast screen opposite where the stands are supposed to be located - without these, you're not going to see much of the course from this section of the track. |

Have you not been reading the complaining messages and read the hysteria that followed the race about overtaking and how boring because now there are no fuel stops and so on? And even if the pole sitter wins this year, Melbourne will still have more action and excitement then Bahrain. Or should we have been jumping for joy when Vettel spark plug failed .... because this is exciting? |

It's nothing to do will new rules, its question about The Melbourne track Vs the Bahrain Track, Melbourne track will always have more action then Bahrain it's just nature of the two tracks. ![]() You've got a very very biased view, and I am being kind to you when I say that. It was nothing to do with the track, it has to do with the technical and sporting regulation. |

Please allow me to ![]() This is from Mark Webber : http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/82185 "I tried everything - different lines, pressure, everything. But they're both good drivers and neither of them made a mistake." |
