[SPOILER] 2008 Australian GP
Just watched practice 2......
All I can say is....
WOW!
The cars don't have any TC, and just about every driver had moments during the practice session... and Hamilton had a beautiful looking drift early on in the session.
Alonso spun, as well as Massa....
it's going to be wild for the race!
F1 in 2008 looks to be a spectacle for sure!

No Traction Control, eh? Excellent! That should provide some honest entertainment.

I haven't paid attention to F1 for a while now. ...and I just noticed that the cars look a lot weirder. They all have sharp fins and edges that look like they hurt.

BMW 1 & 2!! Red bull showed some pace too.
Mercedes not even in the top 10.
Very, very close between all the teams... Can't wait for qualifying and the race!

And Webbers brakes exploded... Figures. 
But there is .100 of a second difference between the top 13 cars - so close!
EDIT: And where did BMW come from!!

kubica would of had pole for sure
im really impressed with the bmw drivers and there cars, there gonna be a real chance this year to get up there but we have to see if they can do well in the actual race
ferrari dont look good atm but there still in the top 3 teams anyways
massa looked like he didnt like hes car
suffer to asslonso hahah
dissapointing for nelson tho
lol webber haha he makes me laugh, such a useless person, he is bad luck for any car that he drives

Kubica was very impressive! I've no doubt that he would have taken pole position if he hadn't committed the mistake. It would be nice to see him win over Hamilton! Kimi at P16 and Alonso at P13... no WCs at the top 10. Vettel also did well to enter Q3 but the car failed him. Watching the drivers make mistakes without traction control is fun  Who would you want to win?

So far, the ban of TC prove to be very entertaining. Can't wait for tomorrow night.

McLaren and BMW seemed to be on fire during the qualifying sessions. Ferrari needs to pick up their game.
