Hello all F1 Fans!!!!! It has been a very long off season but finally the F1 circus is in Australia at Melbourne this weekend for the 1st round of the new season ;D ;D With no less than 5 Champions on the grid this year, we are in for a treat!
Not only is the Australian Grand Prix on at a slightly inconvenient time on Sunday if you are in the UK, but the clocks rather inconveniently change too (but hey! who cares! ;D), so it's going to take a bit of effort to figure out when it's all happening down under this weekend on the tv. Firstly, remember that the clocks go forward one hour on Sunday
Also I have Susieq (the new "DC" of GTP) joining me this season so between the pair of us the GTP results should be out right quick!
Welcome Susieq Now, last years pole time was set by Sebastian Vettel with a time of 1:23.919
