Still on the BBC though right? (which means we Dutchies can watch it live still without paying extra)

I can't wait for the season to start since this will be my first time I've followed a whole season. I'm still trying to figure out who to root for. I'm leaning towards supporting Räikkönen.

Yeah, but not all of them as well. I paid for Sport1 nonetheless. They do show all the practice session, quali and race in HD, which is nice. They also have some 2nd screen stuff going on.
I am still bummed out about Olav Mol leaving though. I think I'll watch BBC where possible and Sport1 the others.

Kimi is a good pick. Anyone but Vettel really. Omiee has that covered.

I don't care who wins as long as it's close and involves more than 3 damn teams fighting
any news on the GP in New Jersey? I was looking forward to that

I wonder if this will kill F1 once and for all.

Off-season has flown by, only a few days left before the first race weekend, hype.
Excellent work on the OT Leunam.

Another season ruined by Pirelli but McLaren will dominate this weekend; Button will take pole and the race win.
Hey guys,
This will be my second season as an F1 fan, really looking forward to it!
I am in the early stages of planning a trip to Japan for the GP there as a reward for myself because of some difficult stuff I've been going through this year. Does anyone have any guides/tours/general travel info for taking a trip there for this event? I'd plan to go and stay in Tokyo for about 2 weeks with the GP being the main event. Any info is appreciated.
I'd be flying out from Vancouver, BC Canada for what that's worth. Cheers!

Sorry I can't give you any first hand info but this thread might help. It should pick up more as the event gets closer, not sure if that helps if you're looking to book it soon though.

I might have to watch the first few races delayed since I don't stay up very late. I'll have no problem waking up early in the morning to watch races.

Yeah their coverage looks like it's going to be good this year.
Thanks for this, any info is helpful.
Should I be looking to book my tickets through the F1 website, or use a 3rd party? I'm also a little confused as it looks like the tickets for Japan are not on sale yet according to F1.com, but Bookf1.com seems to have them available for purchase.
For anyone who has been there, I was thinking about doing the Q2 grandstands, seems like it might be a good place for action. Thoughts?

They needed to store him somewhere for the year, so he can replace Massa next season.
Absolutely this. Kobayashi in a Ferrari would be fantastic.
I wonder if this is actually likely. I have no idea how closely the Ferrari GT team would be associated with their F1 branch, but is it possible they're doing it to keep him on the backburner for a potential comeback as a #2 driver?
Yeah, it's not looking all that great. I wish BBC had a way to hold onto the whole thing back when Sky put in the successful bid for it. Coverage has been going downhill ever since :/Yup.
Sort of related, this'll be the first year I don't watch the race live. No Sky access this year and I'm not paying to watch it in SD. Not a chance.
PS. Guys, I'm going to put in more of an effort this year to get some happy snaps and make them available online as quickly as possible. So while my brother will be bringing his DSLR and there'll be pics from that uploaded eventually, I'll take as many shots with my phone as I can and post them on my Twitter feed for you all to see.
Right here.
This is the photo from my dreams!!!
But Alas, he isn't joining Ferrari F1
Please let this be similar picture in a year or so when Koba replaces Felipe.
Oh man, I'm salivating at the possibility!
And were we going to do the predictor @ http://gppredictor.com/ ?

He really does seem to have grown into an odious ballbag. He seems to be following in Jenson's footsteps... albeit in reverse.

I find it very hard to like him. Hell of a racer, but he needs to step away from the Senna bottle unless he plans on dying young.
Maybe it worked out better for McLaren to get rid of Hamilton in that they also lost the self-entitled pretentiousness that went with him. All they need to do now is keep Jenson from whining about the car and they'll have a lineup that's hard to dislike.
Edit:
Yup.

But oh god there's soooo muuuuch understeeeeer. It's undrivable guys.
Fantastic OP!!
This'll be the 19th straight Australian F1 GP that I've attended and I can't wait!!
If I have enough 3G bandwidth (last year was terrible) I'll be sure to keep GAF updated from my end of the track.
This year I'm watching from the Moss stand which is at the end I the pit straight. I've picked seats up high so I'll have a view of the first chicane. Basically if Grosjean decides to go kamikaze I'll have a perfect view of the carnage
Thursday this year is heritage day with older cars being paraded around and a recreation of the first Formula One GP to be held at Albert Park. It's also free general admission for everybody.
I hardly ever go Thursdays and I only go on Friday when I can (rarely lately) but I'm going every single day this year!

He could get a seat if Honda enters in 2014
I think that we will hear something like that this weekend
Also, how will be weather like?
