^ The only two remaining seats are at Williams and Hispania and I can't see him going for either.

I want to see Sutil on the grid too, hopefully he finds a seat in whatever team. Maybe wait a year as a test driver for some medium sized team and then comeback in '13.

On another note I watch the Senna film recently. I don't know much about Senna until I saw the film. He was cool
Seemed to be so much politics in the sport then. He won against the odds.
Yeah there has been massive politics in Formula 1 and not to go unnoticed there is also lots politics going on still but media is fed enough not to write anything about it!

Senna is the best F1 driver ever in my opinion :wink:

I'm wetting myself with excitment. It's come round rather quickly!

Australia is always such a great first race (and one of my favourite circuits).

I've wondered that for a few seasons now. Surely he's holding the team back? He just seems to make too many mistakes.

Kimi, Massa, Alonso big shocks!

Grosjean has did great job, it seems that they have same form as last year at the beginning of season. Glad to see Mclaren's on top :D

Which means it's only going to go downhill for Lotus!

Very impressed by Grosjean, Ricciardo and Verne - all putting in decent grid slots. It's weird not seeing Red Bull dominate but hopefully it'll provide for an interesting race.

Decent race in the end, i'm so sad coz of Maldonado, that would be his best race of career, he pushed so hard on Alonso. Same for Rosberg, so bad! Button was fantastic, very deserved win. Very disappointed with Senna, Raikkonen, Massa.. Not good start for Renault. Hamilton, Vettel and Webber were very fast too, but Jenson was another level today! Kobayashi had decent race too, really hope that Sauber and Williams will be more in top 10 this season!

Really good race. Button deserved the win, but all the scraps throughout the field were very entertaining, especially at the end - I wasn't sure of the results between 6-11.

Good drives for Perez, Maldanado (on the most part - he really overdoes it sometimes), Alonso and the front runners.

Yet again the Australian GP is full of great action!!

Well maybe not at the front with Jenson easing to victory, but a great driver nonetheless

Thst last lap was just like woah!! With Maldonado's crash (he was still pushing in vain to get past Alonso, such a shame he didn't finish) then Perez's tyre problems which just caused all sort of mayhem, with Kobayashi, Raikonnem and Di Resta all gaining 3 spots on the last lap

Di Resta wasn't even top 10 until the final straight, just shows you should never give up until the chequered flag, Raikonnen's pace at times suggested he could have been up with Alonso if it wasn't for the bad qualifying

So true. Di Resta and Kimi both gained 2 spots due to all the action on the last lap. Yet Kimi would have been with or even ahead of Alonso if he had a normal qualifying session on saturday.

Kimi beat Alonso in time sheets, though he has a penalty so he starts 5th!

I won't be able to watch the race tomorrow because I have franch class... though maybe I might catch a re-run later the night

It looks like Button has a good chance of winning though..

I hope Button wins. I know I've said it before but I can't stand Hamilton's self-pitying attitude.

Good quali sesh, glad for Perez (not sure why but I have a soft spot for him).

I'm surprised that Force India aren't looking in good shape this season.

Also Massa needs to go.
