I have this feeling that Australia will be better - the Bahrain track was just too long  :angry:

Bit of a borefest but frankly Bahrain was always going to be dull, it's a sh!te circuit and even the drivers don't like it.

Good stuff was that Lotus managed to get both cars a classified result and the new guys while not bang up ont he pace weren't as slow as everyone was expecting. McLaren was a bit off at the begining but showed real promise towards the end.

Roll on some rounds at the more exciting circuits in countries that actually have a fan base to support the drivers and not rich governments to line Bernie's pockets.

i suggest the fitment of smokescreens that can be used only once like mark webber had and maybe machine guns?

I gave up with F1 years ago. I was hoping this season would see some decent racing due to the cars being supposedly harder to handle and short pit stops but i wasnt impressed.

Bring on the BTCC

if the problem still lies in aerodynamics why did they make the front tyres narrower? surely the answer is more mechanical grip and less aero?

I can't see things getting much better until the huge changes in 2013.
