2016 Australian Grand Prix - Melbourne, March 18-20

[djos]

Rain will stop in 57min.

I doubt that very much, forecast is showing 80% chance of rain till 2 pm and then 40% chance of rain till 5:15 pm.

That looks to me to be around Federation Square, looking east toward MCG and Melbourne Park sporting precinct. About 3-4ks from the race track, which is south from that location.

I'm across the road from the circuit (at work) and it's still bucketing down.

Seems like rain stopped, sun is coming out. Lets hope for some running finally.

[djos]

Yeah I can see blue sky again!

Drying track, I can deal.

Drying track and it looks like Mercedes will start FP1s installation lap with the old FW from the first test (no photos, saw during live coverage).

Who's ready for F1?!

Who's ready for F1?!

Since the end of 2013...I'm a wait and see after round 6 type of guy now.

Vettel out first on Wets for his intsallation lap

Even though the vehicles aren't on full power...the sound is pretty much the same.

Rosberg out, no installation lap he's straight into doing his run for practice into his third lap now. Proof of dominance / reliability?

Proof of nothing actually

Strange that Mercedes didn't start race simulation immediately lol

[GoranF1]

Alonso whit detuned Honda 4 sec in front of Mercedes.....

[Hail22]

Dry at the start, rains after 30 minutes of practice, drying again but as per the Melbourne script 4 seasons in a day xD
