ykickamoocow 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2006 All of the drivers seem to have nothing but praise for the Australian GP RUBENS BARRICHELLO I really enjoy the Australian Grand Prix and it is certainly one of my favourite races on the calendar. The Australian people are so relaxed, always helpful and smiling, it reminds me of Brazil really. Melbourne is a fantastic place to be based but what I like most about the weekend is the race track with its great combination of corners. JENSON BUTTON "Australia is a race that I always enjoy" GIL DE FERRAN the Australian Grand Prix remains one of the favourite stops in the whole Championship, the mixture between the town, fans and on-track action makes for an unforgettable experience. RALF SCHUMACHER But I do like the circuit - it is one of the most beautiful street circuits there is and also among the safest. The city itself is also one of my favourites on the calendar, so it all combines to make the Australian Grand Prix an exciting event. JARNO TRULLI "Melbourne is a fantastic venue for F1 and the atmosphere is always great." KIMI RAIKKONEN The Australian race is one of the favourites I think with most people in the sport, and there is always such an enthusiastic atmosphere in Melbourne for the event. FERNANDO ALONSO Melbourne always has one of the best atmospheres of the whole season. I think it comes from the people, and their culture, they always make it a good Grand Prix. It is a long way from home, but we are always happy to be in Melbourne, to feel the country's passion for Formula 1. FLAVIO BRIATORE Melbourne is a favourite race for everybody and we are happy to be there. MARK WEBBER The Australian Grand Prix is always a special fixture on the F1 calendar because there's a tremendous atmosphere at Albert Park. It is also probably one of the best organised Grand Prix of the season. TIAGO MONTEIRO I love this city, and I have very fond memories of this circuit. NICK HEIDFELD Australia is my favourite place on the Formula One calendar to travel to and I tend to fly out to Melbourne a few days early to get used to the time difference." JACQUES VILLENEUVE It's always a pleasure to travel to Melbourne. I enjoy racing at Albert Park - I like the circuit and am looking forward to the GP MURRAY WALKER I Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ctrl300 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2006 Australia is absolutely toppbanana. Nevertheless, the drivers make such comments before every single GP. It would not be a good PR idea to say "I absolutely hate Oz, and Albert Park should be taken off the calendar". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But on the plus side they do have Peter Garrett (even if he is a raving tree hugger). Dont worry, Paul Hogan lives in America and Steve Irwin spends most of his time in America. The only reason they are famous is because they present a stereotypical view about what people in other countries think Australians are like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But on the plus side they do have Peter Garrett (even if he is a raving tree hugger). He's with the Federal Labor party.

Jem of the Shire 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2006 Look aussies, no-one knows who your celebrities are, except Kylie of course. One of your exports is Rolf Harris, now he is a weirdo. As for the accent, I hate it! Bit of a generalisation to say Australia is full of beautiful women - every country has its fit and uglies, and we cant base our judgement on the cast of 'Neighbours' I find Aussies to be c#cky and arrogant, but I did used to work with one aussie, and whilst he was arrogant, he was a funny guy who was a friend, til he buggered off back down under I'd rather live in GB myself!

MSR 0 Report post Posted March 31, 2006 The Grand Prix was a lot better in Adelaide. Where else in the world can you walk out of the gate (Turn 9 I think it was) and straight into the Cafe and Night club strip. I'm talking Less than 200 meters from the track. If you didn't like the hotdogs and donuts you could slip out between races and have a proper cooked lunch. The V8's that they run there now put on a pretty good show though.

The only problem with Adelaide is that the town is creepy as hell. I get a chill just by thinking of it. Full of wierdoes, bikers, inbred-loners, you name it, that freak-show of a town has it. By the way, 'Kurt' Russel Crowe is from Port Macquire is'nt he? And for the record, I think he should become foreign minister in a Peter Garret Labour Government.
