Yeah and looks like the race may get moved to inbetween India and Abu Dhabi, or as the last race I think, though personally I wouldn't miss it if it was cancelled completely.

 

There's a very slim possibility that one of the extra tests may be at Silverstone... though Spain/Portugal etc... are the most likely again.

 

First race being Australia is how it should be anyway!

great to see Bahrain gone for a while. Not just because of the obvious trouble the country is in but also how rubbish the track is. Annoyingly it means there's still a month til the first race :'(

Yeah I saw this earlier, it's ok, nothing more, I don't think it compliments the shapes of the car very well, which is actually very pretty.

 

The interim livery always gets so many praise and always looks so sexy out on track, but just like every year they never take anything from it.

Australia should have never lost the opening race. It was a fantastic way to start to the season! All those hardcore F1 fans lining the track, a packed glamourous paddock/grid, and usually an entertaining race in some way or other.

Yeah Australia was great, especially when it was really early in the morning. So exciting getting up for that race. Over here it will be on Saturday evening which will be really weird.

Will the majority of the races be on early morning for you will'?

Yeah it's going to be a right pain, they will mostly start around 5am for me I think, not too bad but does pretty much cut out lie ins on a Sunday for the season.

The image of that flaming Ferrari is STUNNING!!

 

Totally with you on that one, any idea where a bigger version could be found? I'd quite like to get that blown up for the wall.

EDIT:

 

Here's a bigger version (that could probably be upscaled a bit further)

Yeah it's a photograph, from the photographer Rainer Schlegelmilch.

Rainer Schlegelmilch has been photographing Formula One for over 40 years, taking his first pictures for his final exam at the Bavarian State School of Photography in 1962. Invited by a friend to attend the Nürburgring 1,000km race and that year's grand prix at Spa, he discovered an enduring love of, and affinity for, motor racing, resulting in some famously dramatic pictures.

 

From a vast portfolio, some of the best are now on show at an exhibition (Proud Gallery, Camden – proud.co.uk) timed to coincide with the publication of a 200-page collection of his work. Both are entitled: The Golden Age of Formula 1 (book out mid-October, published by teNeues, £60).
