Expecting a resurgent McLaren here, but still behind a dominant RB & then Ferrari. Usually a first lap casualty here. Strategy key.

5am Q & 4am race start time. Not the most exciting of races usually, so looking forward to the highlights 😂

I hope McLaren steps up their game because they have the potential to be on the podium every now and then.

I hope so too... But I think we'll have to wait for the Imola upgrades... 8)

Looking fairly cool but no real threat of rain sounds good.

Ride height should be quite a bit higher in Melbourne compared to Bahrain or Jeddah. Last season this used to come with a bit of a disadvantage for Red Bull, while it favored teams like Mercedes. Will be interesting to see if this trend continues, or how the new cars differ.

Red Bull leads Ferrari, Mercedes might move up the pecking order.

Really looking forward to what the cars are able to do in T9/10 this year. Should be some impressive corner speeds if the first 2 races are to go by.

Probably a bit higher than Bahrain, not too much. This might be the most challenging race for RB until at least Imola and possibly even beyond.

And they call it a stall. A STALL!

or for all those who copied the 2023 Red Bull? I'm honestly not quite sure yet the pattern will be the same again this year.
