2014 Formula 1 Rolex Australian Grand Prix

E90SLAM · 03-10-2014, 03:39 PM

We're back into a new season!
A few months ago we are moaning about the lost of V8 engines. But the new, more advanced V6 are quite impressive. The sounds arn't that bad either!

Sounds like the Mercedes powered teams have a bit of reliability advantage at the moment. We will see how the Renault teams catch up throughout the season.

It's a clean slate, I'm also excited for this season. We really have no idea what to expect.

Nang Vann · 03-11-2014, 10:05 AM

F**K YEH! Its that time of the year again!

Can't wait to hear these V6 engines.

Go Aussie!

TSM330i · 03-11-2014, 10:50 AM

SO EXCITED FOR THIS YEAR!!!

There is so many questions up in the air right now with the new cars. There is no way the series will be dominated by one team this year.

Rumors have it that ALL cars have a high probability of failure, so no one will actually finish the race. It's going to be interesting for sure.

E90_831 · 03-11-2014, 11:05 AM

is it friday yet..?

can't wait.

I love the pre race prep pics from the track. Always look fwd to them. Excited for this season to start. Should be many story lines to follow.

superpenguin · 03-11-2014, 12:48 PM

Seriously epic pictures!!!!

E9TOU · 03-11-2014, 01:03 PM

I can't wait to see where everyone stands after some shakedown. This is definitely one of the most exciting starts to a season for quite some time!

ChrisAW · 03-11-2014, 02:15 PM

I think F1 successfully injected some more excitement into this season. I was doubtful about the move to V6 turbo but so far I'm liking the results. I can't wait to see what happens in the first race!

escobar929 · 03-11-2014, 06:09 PM

and we're back at it boys! can't wait for this weekend, winter break felt like it was never ending

glad to see all the familiar guys back on this thread, looking forward to a fun, competitive season

CDM3DCT · 03-11-2014, 06:27 PM

Indeed it's going to be a crazy one. Redbull FTMFW!!! Although I feel I'll be saying this with more confidence towards the end of the season
