Nice intro - Just spotted your deliberate mistake - European GP is at Valencia.

Of course, the Hockenheim race is the German GP this year.
It's too confusing for me.

Neither I but as you said it's good to be back on action, less talk and more speed...

I'm looking forward to it - after all the rubbish last year and an off-season dominated by its after-effects, I'm ready to forget all that and see some racing again. I may even haul myself out of bed to watch it live...

I'm getting rather excited about it, I must say. It's tinged with a slight bit of anticipation of an anti-climax though - I fear Ferrari are just going to run away with it and we'll be left with a season as dull as the TGF glory years. But hey, mid-field looks close and as Knowlesy has said there's a certain Williams car to keep an eye out for this year!
Given that this could be the last season opener at "Silly O'Clock" I'll be getting up, just for old time's sake. I'm just going to be somewhat happy to see some cars circulating at high speed on my telly again.

Top drawer intro as usual Knowles, boy that extra week wait this year seemed cruel and unusual.
Yeah Williams even looks good in the graphic (esp. next to RBR). I'll be interesting for me to see how Mario Thiessen and his constellation come together this year - taking the next step, and all that jazz. I knows they got it in 'em.

It will be a Ferrari 1-2 without doubt.
Ferrari have always had an advantage at Melbourne, then the others seem to catch up in the following rounds.

As ever great stuff Knowles and I love the pictures - for those us us who dislike reading its a real help.
Well done Andy Blackmoredesign for the great cars (what an amazing coincidence to have a name with the word design in when you are so great at graphics - is that freaky or what?)
Looks a great mix of youth and old farts, which should be fab without all the normal electonic gizmos.
And, all those German drivers and not a Shoemaker in sight!
Flip - where on earth are we going to vent our male hormonal frustrations?

Who knows Ferrari might even have time to deliver the mail on the way round they will be that far in front

Nice intro there Knowlesy.
39 degrees C on Friday! I hope that they all got their cooling issues sorted out!
What's the chance of a 'rain storm' in that sort of heat I wonder?
