Was actually great to see a GP with so much action. Good on Button, great drive and we still got a Ferrari in P3. Massa looked well pleased with that result. Shame Melbourne's weather came through. Looked like we were going to get a good soaking. The GP corporation took the big TV away that has always been to the right of the turn 2 hill. Bugger all big TV's for the general admission crowds now. Nearly all pointed at the stands. There were some highlights though. And always nice to see a 'clean event'!

Yes, I woud have given the chequered flag dress the award for the day. Stylish, well worn and sexy without looking 'skanky' at all like her mate.
From behind, looks like my ex-g/f. I miss those good old days. She was/is a skank. Just found a pic of her on Facebook "flashing" her left tit while out clubbing with her friends.
I don,t know about that,some of us BftB have a little style. I have a VERY dear friend who would look spectacular in the chequer....
Tristan we must have been in the same paddock at the same time. I took mine right as they walked past the DeLorean.
I'm looking through my pics but can not see you, they did the rounds a few times though. Sorry I did not get the chance to catch up with you at the GP, looks like you had a good time though.
Pap is greek...........meaning they may have invented sex, but the Italians perfected it with the correct hole
Given the last two paragraphs, how was it a mistake? McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh has admitted that Lewis Hamilton could have finished second at the Australian Grand Prix had the team not called him in for a second pit stop. Hamilton was in third place, on the tail of Robert Kubica in second, when McLaren told him to pit for a new set of slick tyres. As a result he lost track position to the Ferraris of Felipe Massa and Fernando Alonso, and despite catching up with them again, his charge was ended when he was taken out by Mark Webber. Looking back at the strategy, Whitmarsh admitted the team had made the wrong call but said at the time it had seemed like the right thing to do. "With the information we had at the time, given where Lewis was, we felt that it was the right call. I think in retrospect and hindsight, if we look at how the race played out - if Lewis could have made those tyres last then he could have finished at least second today and we would have a one-two. Inimitably in McLaren style, you look at a win and say - 'damn, it could have been a one-two'. It was disappointing because it was a fantastic drive by Lewis. We as a team made that decision, I have to be accountable for that and I am disappointed with the outcome, but I am not disappointed by the process because I thought it was the right decision at the time." He added that the decision had been based on the fastest lap times recorded by Michael Schumacher and Mark Webber after they stopped for new tyres. "Lewis was losing time behind Kubica, you could see he had graining of his rear left tyre and you could see that Michael had stopped and was going purple, Webber had stopped and was going purple and more than one second per lap quicker." © ESPN EMEA Ltd.
Two races into his much-publicised comeback and Michael Schumacher is already feeling the heat after finishing tenth out of 14 finishers at the Australian Grand Prix. Critics have been quick to highlight how much he is being paid by Mercedes - a basic salary of around £21m plus a further £9m in private endorsements according to the Daily Mail. On a disappointing return to Australia for Schumacher, he at one time suffered the ignominy of briefly being overtaken by Lucas di Grassi's Virgin and was slower than team-mate Nico Rosberg all weekend. The Sun newspaper called it "an anonymous afternoon" for the great German. "That's not what Mercedes have paid him ... to come out of retirement for. At this rate, Schumacher may not see out the first season of his three-year deal." The Times also questioned if he has a place in the modern world of F1. "[He] cut a disconsolate figure as he swept out of Albert Park last night, having discovered that his reputation counts for nothing among the new generation. He became almost a sad postscript . once the greatest exponent of overtaking simply had to accept a lowly tenth place." In Italy, a country still smarting from Schumacher's decision to return not with Ferrari but with a fierce rival, La Stampa did not pull punches. "The (W01) car is not the best, but one of its drivers - the one with seven titles and earning £30 million - seems to have lost the instructions. The proof? He was overtaken by the Virgin. "Are we confident that Michael Schumacher is really under that red helmet? Perhaps Montezemolo was right when he said it is his twin." Schumacher, however, said he was happy with his performance, after pitting early on to replace a damaged front wing. "That incident decided my race, obviously," he said. "I was still having fun as our pace today was promising and for part of the race, we were going quicker than the top group." © ESPN EMEA Ltd.
ha...i thought the rumour about him driving a 458 was unlikely to be true. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUq2pamBvI0
