So his rear brakes worked on the warm up lap...then didnt work all of a sudden. ..

That's the way it goes when things fail. The lap before they fail, they work. Fancy that...

Generally, that is the order of occurrence with failures.

One moment things are fine, the next everything turns to shit.

EDIT: couple of seconds too slow I guess...

The FIA stewards have ruled Kamui Kobayashi was not responsible for causing the first-corner collision with removed him and Felipe Massa from the race.

A fault in Kobayashi’s Caterham was blamed for his loss of control at turn one as the race began.

“Having heard from the driver and the technical representatives of the team, and especially reviewing the technical data, the stewards determine that the incident was caused by a serious technical failure completely outside the control of the driver.

Rear brakes seem to be a Bit haphazard as of 2014. The regenerative power systems haven't given the drivers a lot of confidence in braking.

Was it me or was there a lot of cars putting wheels onto the grass into corners over the weekend?

When can we f**k off all of this environmental pandering bullshit and just go back to racing cars?

If they manufacturers leave it will be a good thing, the whole sport will go back to being reasonably priced like it was in the early 90's

Listening to the technical stuff during the broadcast, the rear braking system does seem like there is going to be some failures throughout the year. Fly by wire braking system mixed with the 2 ERS systems working in conjunction with the physical brakes means that there is a large margin of error possible

Despite only recently extending their deal to host the Australian GP, the race's organisers are now crying breach of contract after F1's sound failed to impress.

For the first time this past weekend, fans listened to the new-look Formula One and its quieter 1.6-litre turbocharged V6 engines.

And although the on-track action was worth watching, that didn't stop some from taking to social media to voice their complaints about the sound.

One person who is not happy is Australian GP chairman Ron Walker while Australian Grand Prix Corporation chief executive Andrew Westacott says it could even be deemed a breach of contract.

"One aspect of it was just a little bit duller than it's ever been before and that's part of the mix and the chemistry that they're going to have to get right," Westacott told Fairfax Radioon Monday.

"Ron spoke to (Ecclestone) after the race and said the fans don't like it in the venue.

"We pay for a product, we've got contracts in place, we are looking at those very, very seriously because we reckon there has probably been some breaches."

They better be careful or they might lose the Aus GP which would be a real shame

Bernie likes playing God with GP events, and with so many other countries keen to get a GP I really don't want to see us lose our GP

[89CAL]

Not to worry. Bernie was against the lack of noise all along it seems. Wants to make them louder. Not sure what they can do though, back to v10's
