Because it will be full of useless and off-topic posts way before FP1, including wild "predictions".

Australian GP organisers add 'Vettel' stand

Australian Grand Prix organisers have added an extra grandstand to meet ticket demands for this year's race, with spectator numbers set to be higher than 2012.

The new World Champion stand, which will offer 'spectacular views' of Turns 3, 4 and 5, will pay tribute to Sebastian Vettel, who has won the past three Drivers' titles.

The season-opening Australian Grand Prix takes place from 15-17 March.

Good point, we're only a week away from FP1.

Pre-race conversation is always interesting, the post race conversation often causes bother.
