    Australian GP

    Ok, who's staying up to watch?

    Interesting practise session last night. Ferraris look in great form, McLaren next best. But oh boy.. Honda... outpaced comprehensively by Super Aguri!

    It wasn't exactly good conditions, so that could be part of it, but is Super Aguri's experience with Bridgestone telling? Or is the new Honda just rubbish?

    Blimey. Honda are slow, Aguri are fast.

    Kimi is being as annoying as schumacher already. BMWs doing great too.

    I think I'll be staying up tonight to watch it. Full credit to the Super Aguri's.

    Button must be wishing he sacked Honda in at the end of last year and got a decent drive. Always seems to be the way that his car lets him down!

    Up for the race? Bah. It's just evening for us hardcore fans who watched the qually live.

    Ferrari look to have the edge, but Alonso is heavier on fuel. If Kimi's gearbox stays in one piece, he should win it, but Alonso might just be keeping him honest.

    Honda are just ghastly. They've been outpaced by their junior team using the 2006 Honda chassis with a few random plastic bits bolted onto it. Not only that, but the first running of it came in Friday's praccy... Honda have been testing for ages with the 2007 car and even an interim one. Still, for any sane Brit who watches the awful, awful ITV coverage, and the abysmal greasy-haired colossus that is James Allen and his fantasy man-love of Jenson Button, it's good to see Honda struggling. Just feel for Rubens really

    I desperately hope that ITV don't turn on Hamilton and go way over the top like they do with Button.

    For the Sniff-Petrol followers, I shall be wearing my Stop the Cock t-shirt. Join me.

    Paint the Honda black again, that'll make it quicker. Damn stupid eco-friendly paint job nonsense ! I'm sure Jense really loved being told by his crew that he'd qualified behind Ant

    And James Allen better calm down with the Lewis love. I'm a big McLaren and Lewis fan but it's painful to listen to. Someone really needed to explain to him (Martin Brundle tried) that heading the time sheets in the first two quali sessions means nowt when the third one starts. THEN the big boys go for it.

    Anyway... C'mon the McMerc boys !
