3) Who will have the better first race, Lewis or Heikki? Lewis - no question

Heidfeld wary of rain in Australia

Nick Heidfeld is concerned that rain could cause havoc in next weekend's Australian GP as the new ban on traction control kicks in.

The 2008 curtain-raiser takes place at the Albert Park circuit, a track that notoriously doesn't provide a great deal of grip.

However, should it rain what little grip there is could be washed away, leaving the drivers to slip and slide around the track as they tackle their first grand prix without traction control.

"Autumn in Australia brings the possibility of rain, which would make driving without traction control and engine braking control a real challenge," said Heidfeld.

"I did some testing on a wet track and it was great fun. The Albert Park circuit doesn't provide much grip even in dry conditions, especially at the start of the weekend."

Aside from the rain, though, the BMW driver is looking forward to a return to racing having spent the past four months testing.

"I'm really looking forward to the curtain-raiser in Australia - to a couple of free days to acclimatise and then for everything to get going at last!" he said.

"This time round I found it particularly difficult to gauge how the teams measure up against each other. We made progress between the roll-out in Valencia and the final test in Barcelona, but none of us will know where we stand until Melbourne."

No chance.
 
Heidfeld is a wimp compared to the others. Maybe he doesn't want to spoil his f***ing beard...



(I've grown annoyed of all the "no-TC-will-be-unsafe" statements. Just get on with the racing, damn it.)

Where did Heidfeld make any statement like this in that article? If you actually read it, he goes on to say how he's tested in the wet and how it was "great fun". Are you the type that believes anything he reads from the press? Sheesh...
 
Traction control has been banned, part of the Traction control program was the engine braking programme which is now gone. Makes it a lot easier for cars to lock wheels under brakes.
 
1) Who will take pole and who will win?
Raikkonen, Massa and Hamilton will all be there, but Raikkonen will take the win at the end of the day by about 30 seconds prompting speculation the year will be a walkover. As always though, it will ebb and flow between the top two.

2) Will Super Aguri make the grid in Melbourne, and will they be fast enough to compete like last year?
If they make it, and i really hope they do, they wont be any slower relative to the other teams.

3) Who will have the better first race, Lewis or Heikki?
Heikki will be solid but Lewis will at points show his usual win-potential pace.

4) What do you think will happen on the first lap with no TC?
Everyone will edge around carefully, nobody wants the embarassment of being the first victim to the reality of physics.

5) Which rookie will finish higher? Piquet, Glock, Nakajima or Bourdais?
Piquet, prompting Alonso to go in a huff with his team and claim he brought "maybe 6 or 7 seconds a lap, and I get nothing back".

6) Who will be the best of the rest behind Ferrari and McLaren?
BMW, then a close scrap between Williams, Renault and Red Bull.

7) What lap will James Allen have his first Lewis induced orgasm?
No laps. He'll talk about the racism incident and bust his nut in a self induced smugness of sickening proportions.
 
'McLaren get fifth slot in paddock'


McLaren have been spared the ignominy of having the last garage in the paddock, ostensibly for logistical reasons.

With the order of the garages dictated by Constructors' Points, the British outfit were supposed to be housed in the last garage after being stripped of their points due to the Stepneygate scandal.

However, Autosport reports that Lewis Hamilton and Heikki Kovalainen will be housed in the fifth garage.

It is believed that the FIA realised that it was impractical for McLaren's massive motorhome to be placed at the end of the pitlane.

Super Aguri set for new season

By Jonathan Noble Sunday, March 9th 2008, 05:02 GMT

Super Aguri are all set to start the new Formula One season, even though there has been no official news on if they have resolved their financial difficulties.

The Honda-backed team were forced to miss several test sessions because of money problems, and team boss Aguri Suzuki flew to Japan last month to seek fresh investors to help secure his outfit's future.

Although there had been concerns that the team could be forced out of F1 if the matter was not sorted, confirmation of their continuance came when the team's freight began arriving in Melbourne on Sunday - with the cars due to follow in the next 24 hours.

The presence of Super Aguri's equipment in the pitlane makes it almost certain that the team will start the season ? even though they have not yet tested their new car or even officially confirmed either driver.

The names of Takuma Sato and Anthony Davidson are written above their pit garages in the Melbourne pitlane, although the team could in theory change their drivers up until the eve of practice.

They shouldn't have made exception for McLaren, they were last in the constructors classification, so they should take last garage :dunno:
 
Apparently McLaren occupy the number two garages next to Ferrari. This from a Melbourne source close to the circuit and picked up by The Advertiser newspaper here in Adelaide.

Red Bull were the first team to arrive, with the plane carrying their freight, along with those of Toro Rosso, Force India, and Toyota. The rest of the teams were expected on later flights during the night.
