Good luck

I am sure we are all excited by the prospect of a new year. Unfortunately I won't be in Australia for the GP this year. It is our 25th wedding anniversary at the end of March and we are going to Phuket for a week in the beginning of March. My first trip outside Oz!!
I booked the holiday before checking the date of the GP.
Must remember to get my tips in!!!
Good luck to everyone.

Thanks Ed. I will be putting my tips in before I leave. It will be strange not being here for the first race but I can't wait to get away for a bit of a break.

Im going with the conventional wisdom that Maccas and Ferrari are a cut above the rest, Alonso will be leading the best of the rest of which the biggest surprise is going to be Nico Rosberg, followed by Webber in a mildly competitive, reliable car.
Nick Heidfeld didnt feature in my (extensive and lengthy ) deliberations so I guess he must be going to have a bad day.
Looking forward to being proved wrong
