Gary Anderson's Melbourne blog

Sunday 27 March
The Australian Grand Prix weekend continued more or less as it started with Sebastian Vettel in his Red Bull dominating from lights to flag. It is the best start to the season Red Bull has ever had and the other potential frontrunning teams will be taking the long flight home to do a bit of head scratching.
At the end of the first lap of the race Vettel was 2.5 seconds ahead of Lewis Hamilton and one of the biggest worries for the other teams is how Red Bull and especially Vettel can get the tyres working that quickly to get that sort of performance.
