AJ annoys me when there is a team radio about to play and he just keeps talking and always seems to stop just after its over

A funny thing to compared to the Sky commentators - when the cross to a garage shot etc the Sky team says 'there's ________, who's been _______'

Meanwhile, channel 10 in the same position is pretty much just silent. Not a major thing but I just found it funny

Matt White is a useless commentator. Cant they swap him with Neil Crompton?

Dull race for the lead, but plenty going on at the back. My first reaction was "oh no not Arnie" but he did a good job...as others said better than old Alan.

Webber and Alan Jones were a good duo.Mark will learn he doesnt need to talk so much and clubbed with Alans low key I quite rated what they could be with regards to commentary. But Aus GP only so who cares.

Bigger concern, is Homo is going to cruise to wins unless Rosberg can dig VERY DEEP! RBR cant pass a Sauber...Fezz still only able to field 1 car....and McLaren a disgrace... that was the sort of finish we expected last year...not 12 months into new regs

Williams will struggle.../lotus still breaking my heart...and thanking god i have WEC to follow this year

Such a terrible effort from Renault in my opinion. They had the time and money to do better, were everyone else has gone up a notch they have stayed as is. Even AJ said he would rather their factory car Torro Rosso than the Reb Bull at the moment.

Poor Dan.

Good to see Kimi with some good potential but I have to be honest, as much as I waited with so much excitement to watch the race, about 7 laps into it I realised there needs to be some massive improvements to from manufacturers to help the viewers enjoy watching. The Mercedes white wash continues.

Just so disappointed with Renault efforts.

F1 has definitely lost something, 11 cars completing the race, why would anyone besides diehard supporters bother watching, it was a complete snooze feast.

If there was a repeat of the Bathurst 12 hour on, I would have watched that.

Fezz had problem after problem on Kimi's car last year...seems stupid mistakes in pitstops continue.

Engine freeze with a new engine formula and only 4 engines a year...well appears we hot lucky last year, and now the Mercs have a huge advantage.

Williams 4acing Ferrari for 3rd-5th looks to be the only thing we can take from the season. Mercs finish 30sec ahead when they were not even pressing

I wouldn't say that Williams will struggle. That is unless bottas can't race for a while. We all know that he's the faster of the 2 drivers both in quali and on race day.

If Bottas doesn't come good they should get Nasr back for a race or two. Then Van de Garde can drive the Sauber for that time (Keeps them out of court) and Williams will have Nasr and Massa.

In other news if that is the best F1 can do the formula is totally fkd. 5 cars didn't even make the start. Half the field either running 100's of hp down to protect their engines and no competition anywhere to speak of. Plus so many teams are either going broke or have no sponsorship. Probably only MB, RedBull and Ferrari are viable at present.

I think F1 has been on a roll lately. But this year looks woeful with quali performances over 1.3 seconds clear of the next team. Lets see what happens re the Williams and Ferrari fight....but with no McLaren or RBR in there it will be interesting to see if Lotus can not trip up like they did on the weekend and get in to 4th in the constructors

Well sucks to have to get excited about 4th place in the constructors. What happened to Grosjean? Loss of power - is that a rod through the block or a gearbox or something other than that?

As for Ferrari vs Williams. Ferrari has more money. Money wins.

Plus now have to put up with Johnny Herbert all year. He is better on the mike than Alan Jones but that is like saying VD is a better STD than syphilis.

Looked like a turbo went kaputt to me.

I see you prefer watching Safety Cars being refuelled to do enough laps to keep the 'racing' close than genuine racing.

No point whinging about Mercedes' advantage either - they simply worked harder on the new engine for longer than the other manufactureres. They're reaping that investment now. 99% of the time, F1 is dominated by one team with the others trying to catch up anyway. If you don't like that, perhaps you should watch a parity formula instead. Although they still seem to get dominated by the teams with the best engineers and most resources anyway...

There was plenty to hold my interest through that race, and to have me looking forward to the next one.

Unfortunately the next 2 races are highlights only on FTA... maybe that will better suit the guys who complain about it being boring anyway!

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
