    Did anyone actually attend Albert Park?

    It was my 15th consecuitive year of going to the f1. I love it.

    Was a very bad weekend for me unfortunateky with Alsonso losing conciousness in testing and not being allowed to race and having magnussen fill in, McLaren qualifying last, losing a car on the sighting lap, and the only car left finishing last haha damn it.

     

    the new honda motor just isnt up to spec. but, can’t expect much for its first season!

    Pete aka VSManta218 went I think. I have never been, as an Adelaide guy still annoyed we lost it, I reckon the AGP when we had it was awesome…

    Didn’t even see this thread
    I did go and it is always good to go to the event as a whole weekend but comparing f1 at the moment to past f1 isnt worth it because they are currently shit

    No other way to put it

    Maybe it’s like comparing holden vs ford with ford been current and 2014 f1 and holden been 2013 and earlier f1 cars

    They sound shit
    And they are slow

    I mean 650hp come on the worlds fastest cars and 650hp don’t belong in the same sentence

    I had a food blender recently and uped it from 240v to 3 phase and it had 650hp

    The lap recorded was set by Schumacher in 2004 at 1:24.125

    This year I believe was 1:32.6 was fastest lap I could be wrong

    And shoot out times where 1:34 – 1:37

    And you got to remember they are Corning just as fast as they use to so that 8-10 seconds is lost in full throttle section of the track

    That’s piss weak in my oppion

    It’s just the cars are not fast enough, I know they want to make it so it’s competitive but that’s just not the way F1 should be

    they should have 1000+hp
    at least enough fuel to do the race flat out
    Enough tyres so they keep traction and not have to stretch it out
    They should be faster then the human so if someone is a better drive it shows
    And if the driver isnt good enough he ends up off the track

    Not this consistent crap where if you miss a turn once it’s hard to gain it back

    Iv heard in 2017 they are ditching the v6 poo engines and goin back to v8,v10 or v12 and back to 4 figger power range

    You will see what I mean at the Monaco GP Gary

    They had a 2009 F1 car I think it was doin the car challenge thing and you could physically see it was faster just watching it

    I totally agree Pete, I really think F1 has lost the plot. All this tyre conservation and fuel management crap. Give us big engines, huge power, best driver wins, let it rip….

    Just saw your bit re Monaco, for me that’s as much about the actual venue, the glamour etc etc as the racing and being there with my old man who’s pretty old and not real well. I went to the Le Mans 24 hour a few years back with him. At the corner called Tet Rouge, they approach touching 300, turn and go through the corner, and not long after they are doing 400+ km/h down the Mulsanne straight. At night watching that was just spine tingling. Sort of like watching the top fuel drag version of a race car. That’s what F1 needs to get back to, a total invasion of the senses, where best/bravest driver wins not best engineer or aerodynamics guy.

    Yes totally agree

    Doesn’t matter what event it is it’s more about the atmosphere been there

    That’s why it didn’t bother me with the f1 in Melbourne weather the race is a perfectly executed no safety car no crashes Aussie looses race

    Yeah sure it would of been boring on tv but I was sitting at the start line as all of them took of and watched the 2.6 second tyre changes and stuff

    Who cares that’s only 1 hour of the event, it was more about been there having some drinks, seeing roulette jet and Boeings fly over with motor x guys doin stupid shit and bands every where and just the vibe of been there for the day
