I hope your joking... 
First few races are always good, this time it'll be carnage! A mix of brand new effectively untested cars, loads of new gimmmics the keep the laywers fed and loads of new settings to meddle with, not to mention KERS to add spice (And huge potential for disaster!)
I predict a big crash straight off the start, wings and spoilers everywhere and at least one spectacular KERS failure

That's what we call good marketing technique... a few well-placed rumours... and strategically-positioned strips of cloth (just go to Jalopnik.com and search "Danica")

For those who haven't worked it out it's Formula 1 season again.
The circus is the off track shenanigans that keep us all amused between processions, I mean races.
This year the cars have proper slicks, reduced aerodynamics and some cars with regenerative braking that saves up 80 bhp of 'boost' for 6 seconds.
Also the practice days and development is restricted to a few days per year.
The first corner of the first race is always exciting, none of the drivers have driven in a pack since last year and this time the cars are almost brand new and unknown!
crash-bang-wallop-oops there goes a front wing...

I hope all australian board members are meeting at that corner and pickin-up that stuff. No khal, not he empty beer cans!! The wings, no khal, not the chicken-wings..................bla bla.......!
Serious, hoops, a front wing will be worth some money on ebay, maybe enough to pay for the tickets for our european- row folks to come down there?
