not good

[Mr Ree]

There are always lots of media outlets putting out speculative articles, but unless the reports come from Sabine, I will keep living in hope.

Cmon Michael, hang in there.

[Mr Revhead]

Whilst there are some speculative articles out there.
Its pretty clear by what some noted experts are saying that the chances of who was Michael coming back are very slim

[Mr Ree]

I agree that things are far from good, but speculation is just that.

There are many instances of people being in induced comas for longer than this, and coming out of it to enjoy a full life, so until all hope is lost, I am still going to try and remain optimistic, and hope for the best.

[Mr Ree]

Well, the new Williams livery looks pretty neat, and a great throw back to times past.

Im really hoping they will win a race or two this year, to bring back some spirit to a team that has been beaten down over the last decade, but more than anything, I want to see Felipe passing the sulky one at every given opportunity.

Fernando....Felipe is faster than you

[Mr Revhead]

Need open face helmets again just so we can see his face at that time

[Mr Ree]

Too true, I didnt consider that hahahaha

Im sure we will still be able to see his mono-brow scrunching in pain as Felipe blasts past in his oh so reliable Williams Martini Mercedes

I cant wait for the bookies to finally open their pages next Thursday...

Problem being if Ferrari finally give Alonso a car that is fast out of the gate Massa won't be anywhere close to Alonso.

For me when it comes to driving Alonso's in another class.

[Sideros]

So who's on the ground in Melbourne this year?

[Mr Ree]

Mister Nilpsi is there

Also, overnight, I read a report on a change in Michael's health, and it has made me feel alot more positive about the situation. I expect an official follow up early next week, so as always, my fingers will remain firmly crossed for him.

[Grrrrrrr!]

Will be flying across on friday night for the GP

[Sideros]

Mr NILPSI is going with me and my partner

What stand are you in Grrr...?

[Grrrrrrr!]

Just GA this year for me. Friends i'm going with have an expensive trip later this year so didn't want to spend the extra for grandstand.

[Sideros]

Oh fair enough, it certainly is a lot cheaper. This year has been double last year due to stand upgrade hopefully worth it!

[Mr Ree]

Personally, I cant see the value in a grandstand seat, as you only get to enjoy the race from one perspective, which gets very boring.

GA is great as you can watch it from any number of places, which means different angles for video footage, and seeing the cars attitude change depending on what corner they are entering/exiting.

What are the 4 day GA ticket worth this year? They were about $200 AUD when I went in 2010

[Grrrrrrr!]

GA is $149, and grandstand seats don't limit you, you have the same access as GA plus a guaranteed seat with a decent view (if you choose a decent seat) for the main race, no need to get there early and camp out to get a spot on Sunday.

I found GA at Melbourne means you can't see stuff all unless you claim a spot very very early on.
Otherwise you are left peering over shoulders or stuck at spots where they are so fast you can't really tell whats going on.
When I go again it will be at a stand. I'd only go GA on the Friday or Saturday.
When I went the radio they sell you didn't work. And I had 0 idea of what was going on all race.

Its far, far better on TV anyway...
