I've already put that down as your official entry for Melbourne. I'd probably score better if you did.

You always struck me as an east 17 fan as well

How can you not be a fan of a man that manages to run himself over.

I've been waiting for that @ Frontrunner they said it would be out early in the week, I took that to mean yesterday. lots of variety in the choices even between teammates.

Have Hamilton and Rosberg even driven on the supersofts yet?

Nope I'm pretty sure Merc have only driven as low as the soft.

Next year Pirelli is introducing another compound, it's called flaccid.

Is that for the older drivers such as Kimi Alonso and Button only ?

Excluding the backmarkers, the only teammates who have deferred in tyre choice is the Mercedes duo. Just like Button always did when he had the opportunity, Rosberg has to try something different.
The hate is real.

Surely now, with different tyres available to them, Merc can't insist that Lewis changes his tyres because Nico needed to? Perhaps that's why Lewis has gone for a different and softer option?

Great point so indirectly Lewis can decide his own strategy!

Yes. One would assume so. Let's hope so!

Monaco last year stung him, it's going to be the circuit to watch. Getting back to the Australian GP though, looking like pole times will be 2+ seconds lower than last year.

That's evil, dyslexic people will read that as "2+ seconds slower than last year" that should be "2+ seconds faster than last year"

when you put it that way... I can see how that would affect the dyslexic community.

My wife has numeric dyslexia, words are fine but she's always putting the decimal point in the wrong part of the numbers. Minutes are hours, months are weeks, etc.

I read it as "slower" as well... got all excited to write a reply!
Interesting that Hamilton only wanted 1 set of Medium tyres, presumably that will be for the race itself meaning he'll do qualifying on soft and supersoft.

A week from today we'll be talking about FP1 and FP2 and analyzing long run pace and getting ready to make our pool picks. Everything is right with the world.
