The Mobil1 Maclaren is for Australia only, a tribute to the 25th Anniversary of that sponsorship.

Have to say rather enjoyed hearing a field of LMP1 engines

by **Richy59** Fri 14 Mar 2014 - 19:12

Haha that's exactly what I said to my mate, Audi R18s everywhere Razz

by **CQR Rogue** Fri 14 Mar 2014 - 19:21

Yep I do like the sound as well hear tyres a lot more

by **Richy59** Fri 14 Mar 2014 - 19:22

Yeah, could really hear them locking up and when they were spinning. I like the noise, although it's still not the same as it was.

by Turbo Power 77 Fri 14 Mar 2014 - 19:40

I really like the turbo sound but I have to agree it's just not the same as the V8.

by **CQR Rogue** Fri 14 Mar 2014 - 19:49

Red Bull have done a good job to turn things around but I don't want another Vettel/Red Bul dominated season, it gets boring.

by XXX Skyrocket Fri 14 Mar 2014 - 20:28

well, Vettel is 7tenth behind fastest lap,thats a lot in F1.

by Turbo Power 77 Fri 14 Mar 2014 - 20:36

Yes it is a lot but come qualifying I think they'll be in with a good chance of pole. Annoyingly...

by Ax4x Kane Sat 15 Mar 2014 - 0:01

Pole is out of reach for RBR. None of the cars were running a full tilt anyway, we'll see what they can do in a few hours. Lotus to be eliminated in Q1 is my bet.

by Turbo Power 77 Sat 15 Mar 2014 - 0:06

I don't think anyone can really predict what is going to happen in qualifying or the race. We'll just have to wait and see.

Riccardo P2 after an insane Q3, kicked Vettels co*ky a*s who is all the way down in P13 hahaha Very Happy

it's great to see some differrent teams in the top 10, STR Renault, Williams, Force India, then Ferrari, Mercedes, RedBull as well,
very interesting start to the season! hope it carries to tomorrow
here's the qualifying results:

Chilton is not on the back row!

by theboomeranga Sat 15 Mar 2014 - 7:54

i know, P17!
he'd be cheering

by **CQR Rogue** Sat 15 Mar 2014 - 11:35

Awesome q session

by FSR Groves Sat 15 Mar 2014 - 11:43

Brilliant qualifying today, that cheer when Ricciardo crossed the line in Q3. Jeeeeeeees!

by Ax4x Chaddy Sat 15 Mar 2014 - 12:04

That Red Bull car has ALOT of downforce, Can see them yet again running away with the title.

by FSR Groves Sat 15 Mar 2014 - 12:09

Cannot tell yet if they are at all dominant. Just look at Vettel, struggling everywhere today! It's an unpredictable car.

Half a second up on his teammate, which you have to say is impressive.. Considering the reputation Bianchi has!

Looking forward to tomorrow. Things are nicely balanced.

by Ax4x Kane Sat 15 Mar 2014 - 16:08

Oh dear. Lotus are in a heap of trouble, unlucky for Maldonado, as the Williams looks solid this season.

Race prediction: Turn 1 collision takes out Rosberg & Alonso, Hamiltons car fails. Vettel gets lucky with a safety car, Ricciardo's car mysteriously fails with half a lap to go meaning Vettel gets the win.

by Turbo Power 77 Sat 15 Mar 2014 - 16:27

Just watched quali. What a session! Loving the car control from the drivers with the new cars. Also loved the reaction from the crowd when Vettel went out of.

by **Ax4x Mikey J** Sat 15 Mar 2014 - 18:08

I was in a discussion yesterday with people saying "Vettel isn't that good, its the car". I responded with "He has been beating Ferrari, Maclaren and Mercedes, but Webber struggled to keep up with them. Meas that either Vettel is quick or Webber sucks".

I guess Webber sucks big time, as Riccardo is P2 while Vettle didn't make Q3. Webber rarely ever out qualified Vettel.
