Mercedes continues to send letters this year ... maybe they found a lot of unused stamps and want to use all of them! :-)

I'm very curious to see if Sky Sport has a "FP1" television segment as originally planned, which now obviously will be more of a news report explaining what the hell just happened.

Interesting that it took this long to cancel, I sense a mea culpa was made between all parties that no one will be out of pocket except the teams...will soon find out the fallout because one things for certain there must've been a lot of ball busting, behind closed door hand greasing between lawyers etc to make this somewhat "profitable".
If someone said to me that you can have three wishes, my first would have been to get into racing, my second to be in Formula 1, my third to drive for Ferrari.

If they won't race when everyone already made it to the venue i don't see any chance for any other GP this year as long as as the flu goes around ..........

What a rollercoaster weekend! Seems like F1 can use anything as entertainment without sending even one car out.
Always find the gap then use it.

I find it amusing that they got so far (2 hours before FP1) to call for the cancellation of the race!

Why would you take the danger of traveling to Australia and then ask for the cancellation of the race?? Just because a member of a team got infected and the whole team withdrew from the event??

That was just silly decisions from teams and the FIA! You either cancel a race before you even get there or you just go ahead when you are already there! Look at MotoGP in Qatar...Moto2 and Moto 3 raced just because they were already there at the track!

Can't get to grips with this anymore today...i'm going to sleep! 2010 Australian GP on F1TV Pro coming up... :lol:
