Australian GP 2009 ( finally! )

[ISLAMATRON]

correction, I meant 3 stints supersoft, 1 stint medium... if that is actually what they are running this weekend

no prob... with the new bigger difference between compounds I doubt we'll see very many 1 stoppers.... and only when they run the Hard & soft combo, but even then still not often.

And we're off! Robert Kubica led the field onto the track in the first practice session.

Edit: He's back in already.

[MattF1]

Obviously they will want to be even more careful with the engines an such with all the new rules.

[Scotracer]

So we have ugly cars that are driving the numbers game. Awesome

[heosat]

This is amazing... No one has been on the track for over 10mins.
