Eagerly looking forward for this season too.

Always supported "Prancing Horse" but somehow they not able to get their cars right.

Drivers to look out are no doubt first Vettel, then list to follow Alonso, Button, Webber, however can't keep Ice cool Kimi out of contention. And Lotus car too is good especially in cornering. They need to pack the straight line speed.

Mercedes is doing well, if I am correct it's there 3rd season but dunno how much they will be benefited by Hamilton.

Let's see how it goes from now.

Seriously ferrari need to pull up their socks. Alonso's super driving needs a commendable car. I am really hoping that ferrari gets their golden days back like the Shumi era.

Vettel extends Red Bull deal through 2016

Sebastian Vettel has extended his contract with Red Bull to the end of the 2016 season, according to Austrian newspaper Kleine Zeitung.

Previously committed to the energy drink-owned squad only to the end of next year, the report said the reigning triple world champion has now inked an extension for 2015 with an ‘option’ for the following season as well.

The report said team boss Christian Horner admitted the news to a small group of insiders in Melbourne.

Red Bull’s Dr Helmut Marko said: “I can’t imagine Horner said something like that.”

Its Kimi's day on Race day on the first season towards chequered flag of Australian Grand Prix.

Alonso- 2nd, 3rd-Vettel.

Wonderful race, Kimmi drove his car like a dream, but was sad to see Sutil loosing two places thanks to the tire change in the last 10 laps(bad call from the team).

 

[mukeshus]

It was a great race today.

Force India's Adrian Sutil almost surprised everyone.

Lewis Hamilton's car was some what under performing, felt like it had no juice left.

Iceman Kimi took the lead from 7th position.

Here are the standings of the 2013 Australian Grand Prix:
