Caterham changing their penis to black, looks better with black rather than all green:
It appears as if Mercedes may face a slight disadvantage in Melbourne.

Is it a different wing to what they had at Bahrain and Jerez?
FP1 is at 1:30 am UK time. It couldn't have been at a more enticing time for me to stay up and watch it.

Anyone seen the press conference? Alonso, Hamilton and Vettel seem to be in a bad mood. Alonso much more than the rest. Stress? No new parts? Team orders? Race fixing*? I understand why Vettel is unhappy and maybe Hamilton, but Alonso seems angry even by his own standard.
Renault teams cleared to use full power:

There's always the occasional gag but 28 out of the 30 mins you see this:I didn't think they seemed too bad?
EDIT: Rain forecast for Sunday. Remember that in F1 anything can happen, and it usually does!

Easy win for Vettel.
It's the Age of Uncertainty. Everyone says that testing means nothing, but they usually have a pretty good idea of where they are by now. But this year, testing has been about getting laps in and understanding the engines - no-one has had any real chance to work on strategy of tyres or fuel consumption.But that's not how they usually look. Only after they've had a bad race, not before it.
Shame I won't get any of the practice sessions in... but I'm there for Quali and Race!
I know, but I am burnt out from working 12 hours a day, I need to rest so I am good for Sat/Sun!Go on, it's only an hour and a half away
So it's going to be green, black, silver and lime?Caterham changing their penis to black, looks better with black rather than all green:

Vomit, vomit, vomit.

A thought just crossed my mind. What if all of this hype and excitement for the first race, the most we've had in a long long time, is crushed by a good old fashioned vettelwinslol on Sunday? I wouldn't find it too hard to see a few people giving up on F1, once again.
I guess Vettel is worried what he will have this race when he puts his trousers down for qualifying and sees what he has got, Renault says he can now use full power of his power unit (Va Va Voom). Others are struggling to hide what they got already.It's the Age of Uncertainty. Everyone says that testing means nothing, but they usually have a pretty good idea of where they are by now.

The informal interviews are much more relaxed. Unless you're Vettel. He looked rattled yesterday.
