Melbourne, Australia, is the host of the first F1 race for 2014. With new engines, new KERS and more, the lead up to this event has been traumatic for many of the teams, including Red Bull. The Renault engine teams seem in more doggy doo than the Mercedes and Ferrari engine teams, but we will know after this Sunday.
The race will start at 1 p.m. our time and we watch from Jameson’s Irish Pub on Soi AR, next to Nova Park. The big screen is great and the dedicated F1 channel has good commentary with no breaks and no ads. Come at noon for a meal (the Sunday roast specials are great value) and a drink and discussion and let’s hope for some real racing.
