This weekend in Melbourne Off to watch the street parade on Wednesday and the race on Sunday. The track looks virtually converted now which is good!

The track is about 500metres from one of our offices so you can hear them clearly whizzing around during the day.

Roll on the weekend!

Uncle Henry - you going as well?

FAST AS FORD,

F1 needs a kick up the arse to make it worth watching

I think it's gunna b an interesting year, with you the new regs, im a ferrari fan but hope that their car isn't miles ahead of the rest like last year, but it may end up being a bridgestone vs michelin year again with ferrari having their tyres more or less tailored to their car! Roll on next weekend and let's find out
Podium predictions

1.F.Alonso
2.M.Schumacher (Has to be on the podium doesn't he )
3.K.Raikkonen

Yep, at least for the forseeable future, it was part of the deal struck.

The team received another boost this week when its engine supplier Cosworth announced that its new engine will be significantly more powerful than its predecessor. It is expected to produce in excess of 900bhp.

"We have been greatly encouraged by what we have seen in testing and the feedback from our drivers," said Cosworth's Simon Corbyn.
