2015 Australian Grand Prix - Melbourne

[GPR-A duplicate2]

Wow !!! It's Arnold doing podium interviews.

[Sevach]

15 cars starting? What the hell?

Thank you, Bernie, for this WONDERFUL formula one youre giving to the fans.

To be fair he didn't want this.

Piquet would've been the icing on the cake for this one

[SilverArrow10]

Normally I hate celebrity's doing the podium interviews, last year Benedict Cumberbatch didn't have a clue what he was talking about he never even watched a race. But Arnie was great. Drivers from now on though yeah =D>

[Shrieker]

That was better than the 2014 opener. Just my $0.02

There were interesting battles all around. No wheel to wheel for the lead, but there was tension. In the end turns out though Hamilton was probably just managing Rosberg. Not easy anyway.

The podium interview was worth getting up for alone. Race was much better than last year thats for sure.

All the while packing his pockets full. All but a few teams are struggling for cash. Rather than promote the show and take it to the masses, the gnome talks about cars not being loud enough. F1 doesn't even have a youtube account where people can watch the best overtakes or spectacular events per race...motogp does. I do hope it gets worse...it's about the only way of getting rid of the greed at the top

No, he wanted another two teams to be bust, and only 12 cars starting.

Can someone explain when Ferrari will be on the pace?

[BorisTheBlade]

Next year at the earliest.

Can someone explain when Ferrari will be on the pace?

A long time from now. You'll need to do a lot of updating to your sig, starting with now

Bottas progressing then losing everything then progressing again was more action than everything i saw today.

Kimi was hit on the rear left by Sainz at the start. At the pitstops it was the rear left that wasn't going on, so it seems the impact damaged the hub which ultimately led to retirement.

It's sad for Williams to mess their race by playing rear gunner for Merc in the early parts - but what can they do, the Wolff blood runs deep in the team and they get a very good PU at discounted price!

Williams is Mercedes' B-team, that much is clear. And why not. RBR has Toro Rosso, Ferrari has Sauber, and McL used to have Force India.
