The wind will be associated with mixed conditions, but generally clearing. Melbourne is known as a "4-seasons-in-1-day" city, so it could rain later, but it appears highly unlikely at this stage.

Strong feelings from the sky guys about the crappy halo. Martin really hates the thing, and Damon was saying how he wouldnt have got out the car in his accident in Estoril, the very accident I pointed out in the Halo thread yet the pro halo crew said it wouldnt have been a problem.
hmmm..... believe Damon Hill about an accident that Damon Hill had, or believe a couple of guys on an internet forum hmm...

50mins to go :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

So I've just had the best weekend ever finding out I'm going to be a Pop to a little baby girl, and made it home just in time for the race 😉

But now where I'm living I have no foxtel, so I've talked the pub into putting it on, but no sound because they are all Rugby League retards here 😂

I'll be doing my best with the app, but I'll really appreciate any commentary you guys can come up with

1. Indeed Merc has a party mode but Lewis didn`t used it coz: a) the team was confident after Barcelona test they didn`t need to bring any updated and b) Lewis was super confident that is isn`t necessary to engage it

2. Marko either is a liar or that info is coz 10kg of fuel worth on average 0,35sec/lap circuit depending ... so 15kg means almost 0,5s/lap ...

3. Red Bull will go for a 1 stop race and that means their SS tyre must last at least 30 laps ... bearing in mind that 2018 SS tyre has the same rubber composition like US 2017 tyre and a better lateral force construction, last year Bottas did 26 laps and Kimi 27 so I think they could do it ...

4. Red Bull for 1 stop means Max should go longer and Lewis should not get behind him like last year ...

As time goes by I get more and more certain that McLaren dodged a bullet by going with Renault.
