I expected the 'Make Roads Safe' logos to be bigger than this. There's no way for anyone to see them besides getting on their hands and knees to get a view of the center section of the front wing. :roll: (besides a photo of course)

oh MX,

bigger logo means potential decrease in sponsor space available; how would on Earth an F1 team would do that?? :mrgreen:

Weather forecast has changed again for Sunday, adding Windy to it all.

And when they say windy for Melbourne, its almost a hurricane at Albert Park! :o
The teams will be hating it.

:lol: today was a perfect example.. started with a 12degree morning, slight fog, scattered showers, enter a bit of an autumn wind, clearing to a bright sunny, cloudless 29 degrees making the drivers sweat at their signing tents for the rest of the day!

They needed a jacket, shorts, umbrella and sunscreen!

Welcome to Melbourne! :lol:

Not sure if this has already been covered on this thread as I have not had a proper read of all posts yet so apologies if I am repeating another comment.

According to the BBC website yesterday, the long range weather forecast for the Melbourne area, the race could well be wet or at the very least interupted by showers. This is good for two reasons:

1. Schumacher. Any wet race with him driving is a joy to watch thanks to his wet weather skills. :P
2. Wet might mean over-taking.

The potential is there for a watchable race. Hopefully the weather forecast will be right for once! [-o<
