I just realised that I will be in New York that night!
I'm sure some bars would be open and show the race now right?

Might be, because he didn´t get the media spot light so much yet. He´s a deeply funny and outgoing character, who finally got the famous-dad-chip off his shoulder.
Let him podium the first couple races, and the coverage will pick up.
I expect you are going to like what they´ll be showing.
My sentiments exactly.
Ah that's true enough. Whatever happens, I just hope we're in for a truly exciting RBR-win-less season

Haven´t been this excited for a new season in a looong time. One can think of the rule changes whatever one wants - but there is a good chance the balance of power will get an interesting reshuffling.
I think that's highly unlikely. I can defo see some cars coasting to the finish, but I don´t think even half of them will DNF.
I still think there's a master plan by the teams of having a lot of light touches in the first lap of the race...removing all the noses...
Even if the protruding dong isn't useful, the rest of the nose is still lower so should stop cars going over others and potential into drivers heads.
Next season I'm sure they'll button up the regs again.
Looking forward to seeing that new Mercedes nose though! Today is crash test day.
Renault: "Engine: Best troll ever."
If that were to happen, I'd go for Button. His triathlon skills should put him in good stead to complete the remaining race distance on foot.

I hope this gets some use this season:
Reminds me of an opening for some TV drama.

Good lord, this looks like some cheap 70s porn...
It's brilliant, and yes, it's Batiatus.
Indeed.....I just hope were not getting overhyped...
What?

I want a Marussia or Caterham driver to get on the podium this season. They'd never get there on merit alone, but that doesnt matter, let chaos reign.
They didn't score a single point yet and you want them to be on the podium ?
Marussia could get their first points this year, but for Caterham with the famous "best engine ever" it's hard to expect anything from them for now.

Dry practice and qualy, then an intermittently wet race would be a great way to start the season.
Imagine wet start... wheelspin extravaganza
Grosjean : Why not being world champion this year ? (french link)
To be fair he's not 100% serious ("I want to be world champion, why not this year ?"), and it looks like the interview was made before the pre-season tests.
Is Blundell related to Lotus somehow ?
In the second video he appears twice to say that Lotus will be fine and Grosjean will be world champion someday (he even says that Maldonado is reliable ahah)

FOM finally acknowledges such thing as Internet exists and for the first time ever puts non-onboard lap/highlights footage on formula1.com :O

There might be. Bars are open until 4 AM so that should be enough time. Race would start at 2AM EST.
LOL Melbourne weather. It will be totally different to that forecast, you know itAhaha, lol.
Thank god for premium seating. At least quali weather is looking okay.
They are so backward about technology for a series that loves to crow about their use of it.
Melbourne weather is always different from what is forecast, unless the forecast is rainLOL Melbourne weather. It will be totally different to that forecast, you know it
That would explain the rage gif.
They do have a very fast car. But my tealeaves say they can only use the speed on some laps, not on a full race distance.
Christian Horner:
"You could see a higher level of domination than we had last year," he told The Daily Mail. "Looking at Mercedes' race simulation, it wouldn't be a surprise if they finished two laps ahead of everyone in Melbourne. They have a massive advantage. What we know about Lewis is that he is extremely talented and naturally fast. And he's in a good team, so he's probably got to be the favourite going into the season."

IMHO if they build a car good enough to finish a race at the expense of others who have not that I'd absolutely achieved on merit alone.
Wow, to hear that from Snivellus is a surprise.
Isn't Horner just lobbying like always? He will be sobbing for any type of intervention if they are way off pace.
Of course he is. It wouldn't be fair if the Renault engine was underpowered again. But hey, so long as everyone is passing whatever tests the FIA impose I'm sure Mercedes will continue to get away with their engines bending. No wait.
That's not practice. It's the Australian Test.
Can't wait for this.
Of course, the *real* reason that Williams recruited Smedley is so they can hack into the Ferrari communications channel and make sure that on every lap he can say "Felipe is faster than you. Do you understand this message?"
One of those teams already has the driver:
Although having said that, it was exactly under those circumstances that KK got his only podium, lols
The BBC - looking to try to build interest - are having a bit of fun with statistics on their website.
Holy moly, Fangio's numbers are impressive.
