Good call on watching the 80's races! Where did you find them? Torrents? ESPN Classic over here has a great series called Formula 1 Retro where they showed highlights of all the seasons of the 70's. Fantastic to watch - back when racing was still racing (instead of business).
It wasn't until the end of the turbo cars that they brought back refueling too (I think). |

Should be another good race!! I think the pace of the Toyota's is genuine, though them and the Brawns are lighter at the start. Not sure how that will play into it, and we also won't know about which tires teams are starting on until they form up on the grid. Hopefully the bag soft tires last a bit longer than in Australia.
Grid lineup and weights, courtesy autosport.com:
Pos. Driver Team Car weight (kg)
1. Button Brawn-Mercedes 660
2. Trulli Toyota 656.5
3. Vettel Red Bull-Renault 647 (will be penalized 10 places)
4. Barrichello Brawn-Mercedes 664.5 (will be penalized 5 places)
5. Glock Toyota 656.5
6. Rosberg Williams-Toyota 656
7. Webber Red Bull-Renault 656
8. Kubica BMW-Sauber 663
9. Raikkonen Ferrari 662.5
10. Alonso Renault 680.5
11. Heidfeld BMW-Sauber 692
12. Nakajima Williams-Toyota 683.4

Sucks the race didnt finish... but it was pretty good racing. Very good passing through the race, then the tire strategies became a huge factor.
Big lulz on Kimi getting full rain tires way too early. |

yeah i thought it was pretty entertaining! a lot of back and forth passing fighting for positions, shame the rain was that hard it had to stop. it could have gotten even better! |
