I wonder how much more huffy he gets with the Brawn F duct, as in Malaysia there are some long straights in qualifying to use it..

I keep an eye on the timing and the RBs were generally quicker in the high speed corners of sector 2 than the McLarens were.

Malaysia should be pretty interesting

I watched it live and unfortunately was concentrating staying alert so didn't play with the red button, will do next time though.

As I said earlier, Australia is effectively a street circuit and not necessarily a good indicator of how everyone's going to perform on more normal circuits.

That's right Australia is often a lottery, but given Red Bulls dominance the last two years I am hopeful that the cars (top 5 teams) are more evenly matched this year

Pleased for Jenson, but I still rate Alonso as one of the best drivers out there. Seems to me that he's (again) out driving the car but with such a gap to Massa it's difficult to tell where you'd expect that car to perform with someone like Rosberg in it.

Always love to see the Brits do well, but Hamilton needs some stiff upper lip lessons.
