Re: Australian F1 Grand Prix
What a messy race for Kimi! I was very happy when he was right up the tail of second macLaren when the safety car pulled off, fighting for 2nd position with Lewis just in front of him. But within a few corners my dreams of back to back wins for Kimi at the Australian GP came to an end. Well done to Lewis though, he didn't put a foot wrong. And I am also very happy to see Rubens getting some points. And Alonso proved today why he gets paid the big bucks in an uncompettive car. Oh and Bordias' dream debut nearly came true!

[...] the invites to McLaren and Ferrari was through their main sponsor who I am a client of.
As to get in there I solely have to get a new mobile from Vodafone?
Haha you need to be a lightly larger partner of Vodafone than just one mobile phone to get invited. Having said that, last year I met a guy at the dinner after the race and all he did was to buy a mobile service from Vodafone and he got the same invitation as I did! (disclaimer: The fact that he won a competition from Vodafone for its subscribers was kinda irrelevant
)

My Oliver yesterday in his Australian Grand Prix "Mad Racer" baby suit.
This is him today in his other Australian GP clothes - "Daddy's Little Driver".
His mummy in her Ferrari top with Oliver in his bedroom.
And here is a photo of the start of the race just before Massa and Heikki had their little stouch.

Re: Australian F1 Grand Prix
Thanks derder. I am up on the 40th floor. Which is not very high considering the highest residence is on 92nd (whole floor penthouse!)! Yeah the view is magnificent as I see all the way from Docklands on the left to East Melbourne to the right with the city right in front. And of course the view of Yarra river is magnificent especially during the fireworks.
MacLaren had a party here Friday night on the 89th floor on the observation deck. Lewis was in and out in just a few mins according to the doorman. Oh, and I am the only car fanatic in this family. I just force it on the missus and the baby! Hehe.

Re: Australian F1 Grand Prix
Loved the race!
So much more exciting than most races, and the new regulations seem to have helped a lot - especially of course the lack of electronic aides.
Raikkonen: Drove like a teenager. I dunno wtf he was thinking - especially that pass on (was it Kovalainen?) 1 lap before he was supposed to pit anyway.
Just plain dumb.
And his lapse of concentration gracing the grass and concequently spinning out was just as strange. I dunno if the car was somehow out of whack, but perhaps he just killed the car with his gravel visits.
Hamilton drove very cool and sensibly and deserved the win.
Good job by Barri too, altho his pitlane move was as unwise as Kimi's passes.
Alonso made the most of the car. What a strange battle he and Kovalainen had. Got passed by Kovalainen, the Kovalainen seemed to lose steam, and Alonso took back his position. Strange.
Poor tactics from BMW, or perhaps just plain bad luck with the SC periods.
Too bad, cuz they had a great weekend until then.
Massa: Very immature maneuvres IMO, and he had to pick up the cheque on those in the end.
I wonder if the heat and the nerves/anxiety of the first race got the best of both Kimi, Barri and Massa. It's rare to see them make mistakes like those (except for Kimi who often drives over-the-top when it's not necessary.)
My money is (as always) on Kimi for the season - but let's see. This is F1. Anything can happen.

Re: Australian F1 Grand Prix
Seems Barri got disqualified and Kimi gained a point.

Also looks like both Ferraris had engine failures according to Ferrari officials:
