that was a pretty cold day in melbourne 
well done Jenson , fastest in practice , lewis 2nd 
maybe not a two team race after all.
Mclaren said they had some sneaky upgrades to the car before testing so hopefully this is proof they work!
Hope the Mclaren stays there this season!
Sneaky upgrade!! They have had to re-design the rear of the car! New exhaust system, new floor and a new front wing to feed them. They had to abondon the "octupus" exhaust (multiple exists that fed multiple parts of the floor) because it was too unreliable and couldnt get what they wanted out of it in the time they had.
Dont read too much into there pace though...maybe a bit misleading; but nether the less alot better then testing!
the renault definatley sounds different to the others too , especially when they lift off the power . it almost chatters.
It always has done, same as McLaren. They sound absolutely awesome don't they? BMW used to sound the best when it was around, they had a completely different tone to anyone else.
That noise is because there feeding the diffuser both on power, and when they lift using a special throttle map setting.
Very disapointed with the performance of the renault, and the lotus. Virgin looking very off the pace too.
