    That was when he won (in the best car) by going off the track to overtake. Of course he didn't get penalised for it.

    If you are a real sportsman no-one ever worries about your mental state. Hamilton's head is always all over the place.

    Only a couple of years and Hamilton will have a Tiger Woods/Britney Spears style breakdown.

    Getting excited!
    We finally get to see who's be holding back and who's been on the glory runs. Also get to see if the last minute add-ons work :)

    I think Sauber will surprise everyone. The midfield is supposedly a tight pack but Sauber have the best exhaust position which could give them a few tenths over the other midfield cars.

    This is it now, Mercedes... have been quiet all testing, hardly any (if any) reliability issues.
    Plenty of mileage. It is up to Mr.Schumacher and Mr.Rosberg, to bring the glory home again.

    Don't forget the clocks change this Sunday so the race may be an hour (earlier?) than you though... potentially <ok>

    edit: ............WRONG!

    I might be wrong but I always thought the rule was the first Sunday after 23 March (and 23 October for winter).

    This is just me being pedantic but "arrivederci" is Italian for "bye".
    Did Ferrari turn up in Melbourne, and get so scared by the opposition they decided to leave? :p
