Channel 10 did a great job sending Webber off this morning. Loved it, that commercial of him singing the Canberra Milk song was gold. So bad!

The race was a lot more interesting last night, despite the race for first position being hardly any different. Happy to see a few more racing manoeuvres from the Webb-dogg, very sad that he's no longer around in F1.

Damn. That Channel 10 thing isn't going to be viewable anywhere online, is it?

Same :( Shame there's no-one else like him in the sport... I reckon it will feel sanitised by comparison next year.

Apparently he did a lap or two without his helmet or something?


Obviously going to be devoting far more time to the WEC next year as well. Not only because of Webs, but F1 has pretty much gone to shit over the last few years. That, and they don't fucking restrict broadcasts at all and stream everything online for FREE. Get that, FOM?!?

There hasn't been that much news recently, they're saying he's more stable now. Hopefully it's more like the case with Richard Hammond where the permanent damage isn't too bad (or at least noticably visible).

Danny Ricky has chosen #3 for his car, because it was his first number in karting, and apparently he's a fan of Dale Earnhardt.

I'm not looking forward as much to this year's GP as other years. Curious to see the new cars in the flesh (lol dicknose) and to see how RBR/Ricciardo (and hopefully KK) go but without someone like Webber in the series, I just couldn't give as much of a shit.

McLaren have today unveiled the car that Jenson Button and his team mate Kevin Magnussen will race in 2014, the MP4-29.

The team hope that the striking car, described as ‘a sensible and calculated response to the new regulations’, will return them to winning ways after a disappointing 2013 season in which they failed to score a podium for the first time since 1980.

Thought the Volvos looked awesome also. Got a free ticket for today (Saturday) in prime right near the finish line in front of the Jumbotron. Had a great day, the sound of the jet flying over before the V8 race was wicked when the afterburners kicked in.

Less than two weeks to go till the OzGP - can't wait! Got a 4-day Grandstand pass, I'm actually really looking forward to it with all the regulation and engine changes. Pre-season testing is indicating that the field should (hopefully) be nicely mixed up, and honestly with no Webber I may strangely be able to enjoy it more.

Annoyingly though Panthers are playing the Storm that weekend at AAMI park, but kick off is 5:30pm and Qualy doesn't finish until 6pm. Might be able to rush over and catch the 2nd half but so frustrating that the times just don't quite work out!

I've got the 4-corner grandstand deal again. What stand(s) are you in?
