Will be interesting.

Max seems to be annoyed with the new regs
Lewis seems delighted
Lando giving no shits at the moment

I really hope the Ferrari starts are a genuine advantage as they could cause chaos if they have a poor quali

Wonder if it'll be as dramatic as the Renault starts back in the day. It was entertaining as a mid season development but whilst I used to get excited about the season, this year feels quite inauthenic at the moment with things like this. I'll still get up for it though...

Quite looking forward to a couple of afternoons flopped on the sofa in front of Channel 7 (I think). The rest of the season is a long old slog of late nights or very early mornings. Singapore, Japan and China aren't too bad I suppose.

Oh wow. Mercedes were sandbagging!

Everyone going round in FP3 at very close pace, with the Ferrari a tiny bit ahead of the McLaren. Then Russell does his last lap and without trying is 0.8 seconds ahead. That is eons quicker in F1 terms.

Shame Antonelli totalled his Merc. Very unlikely to make quali as it looked properly second hand with half the arse spread over Melbourne.

Max bins it in Q1
