Only if I get a free ticket to a corporate tent I am a big fan :) TBH I get bored of them pretty quick. I used to get a Corporate ticket with Castrol every year and it was good, but I actually enjoyed the v8's and the Lambo's. Vipers, Ferrari's etc etc more. It's great to see the best city in the country still has it, and apparently the ticket sales are booming this year.

I love F1 until I went to my first race when Albert Park got it for the first time and I was so bored..... Street tracks are hard to enjoy as a spectator.

Big fan. Watch the whole season. Could be a bit of a repeat of last year this one but big changes to the rules next year.

I love the precision and leading edge technology. My grandpa got me interested back in the days of senna. He lives in Adelaide and i got to see it there but i was very young.
Did anyone watch Motor mate yesterday? Not sure if its the same episode all over the country, but it was the episode that showed the beginnings of Grand Prix. Geez it was awesome to watch. A leather helmet and googles sitting on top of a supercharged jaguar 5 litre or a 6litre straight 8 mercedes. Wow id never seen footage like that:)

@ Lucas early F1 footage very scarey , I like the Brakes how some material is heated to 9000degree or something stupid for 5 days then cooled, machined and re heated for 5 days at 4000 degrees.
That Mark Crompton does the Technical stuff very informative. Plus how the F1 cars have evolved from rope seat belts to the Hans device. and the extension around the driver. That came about because of Senna untimely death. Plus if your car is .5 of a mm oversize you get black flagged untill fixed.
As for the Big Boys Toys the Lambo and Vipers etc. think Sam Newman did the exhaust on his 2 years back cost $60,000 mind boggling. Also Dream Car garage NTB

Love the GP - mainly for the boozeups. I won't be there this year but spent the last 5 years hosting clients. 22 hour days and about 3 hours sleep for 4 days! Loved it! The tech is amazing, the noise is a pain in the *(&^ and the hangovers cruel you!
If anyone is down there checkout the Rolls Phantom on display - its owned by my company and the number plates will be JE. Also - the group it will be registered under is SGFU.... See if you can figure out what it stands for!

What is it with Webber and his starts, not bagging him but that is disgraceful for someone with his experience....just happens way too often. Great race by the way

Under the pump!!! Clocked up close to 350ks on the scooter ( blzzdy sore azse ) Had a few issues not of our making, then got drowned as all trouble manifest itself when your defenseless. Sorry but photos had to take second place. I`ve got a good boss but work dose preside over pleasure. Then trisd to upload some picy`s and the system told me to pzss off as the files were to large and as we have been starting at 7 in the morning and not getting back to the appartments untill after 10 at night all I can say is PLEASE FORGIVE ME
Just finished stripping out our gear so it`s out to dinner tonight and just maybe get pzssed

The nissans sounded the same as the ford and holden's to me, like an open exhaust street car but the mercs were very destinctive.
