It will be interesting to see when Massa looses his seat, if he continues this weekends form, I would be surprised if he makes it to the end of the season.
I also wonder who will take his seat... I heard rumours of Perez.

I would think that would be the conclusion from both sides....

I foresee a repeat of Button choking and Hamilton letting his anger getting the best of him.

Perez might be a good choice; he has the talent.

Agreed. But I think a lot of these young guys have the talent. It's also a question of aggressiveness.

Kubika coming back? He could fill that slot.

Yes, Mclaren are definately the team to beat, but Red Bull certainly were better in the race in Melbourne... Vettel (surprisingly) looks like he is struggling a bit with his car.

Would like to see Schui get his typical rocket start and pass the 2 Mclarens at the start.



Not sure if I want to see rain in this race or not - would certainly mix it up a bit.

Yes, Schui has got his mojo working and his ducting sorted to suit him.

I wonder how quickly the other teams will adapt the Mercedes ducting scheme.

Anyone understand what Ferrari's problem is?

I fear we might be losing Masa. Too bad. I like that guy.

I think the start will be the two McL boys and Michael will not have the race pace and hold up the pack....
RB has got issues with the rear of the car and so do Ferrari...down force!


The red team will have an entire new car in three races ....unheard of to build a entire new car within four race of the start of a year...never have I seen that before.

I thought I heard that they were putting Masa in the new car now. You'd never guess it judging from his position.

Tim, check your pm's, OK?
