Last time out in Monaco Button was again the class of the field, scoring his fifth win in six races this season. You can watch live F1 streaming of the Turkish GP weekend at  www.watchf1.net to see if the Englishman can make it six victories.

Barrichello finished second to Button in Monaco, with Ferrari showing improved form. Kimi Raikkonen ended the race in third, just ahead of his team-mate Felipe Massa. The last three Turkish Grands Prix have all been won by Massa, and he has claimed pole position on each occasion.

The Turkish GP is held at the Istanbul Park Circuit and the track is a favourite of the drivers. The only other person to win the Turkish GP is Raikkonen, who triumphed in the inaugural race in 2005 for McLaren. Juan-Pablo Montoya’s lap record of 1:24.770 still stands.Watch the Turkish Grand Prix live online at www.livef1.net to see if any driver can better the Columbian’s time.

The Hermann Tilke designed circuit features sweeping elevation changes and the daunting turn eight, which is a four apex corner. The turn is taken at very high speed, exerting lateral forces of 5G on the drivers and has caught many out. You can watch F1 live online at www.watchf1.net and see how the drivers cope with the unique challenge this corner poses.

The 2009 Turkish GP will be held on June 7th, over 58 laps of the 3.317 miles (5.338 km) circuit, giving a total race distance of 192.250 miles (309.396 km). Although the favourites for the 2009 race will be Button and Barrichello in the Brawns they can expect stiff competition from triple Turkish GP winner Massa in his Ferrari.

Red Bull will be hoping to bounce back after a disappointing Monaco GP weekend. Mark Webber made it into the points but his team-mate Sebastian Vettel, who lies third in the F1 World Championship, crashed out of the race. Vettel is the only driver to have won a race this season apart from Button. See if the young German can add to his tally by following Formula 1 live online at www.livef1.net.

Williams have flattered to deceive so far during the 2009 F1 season. Nico Rosberg has often been fastest in practice only to fade in the race, while his team-mate Kazuki Nakajima crashed out on the last lap in Monaco.

Defending F1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton had a disastrous time in Monaco, finishing a lap down in 12th. You can see if he can turn his season around by watching live streaming of the Turkish GP, where he finished second last year.

The current Malaysian Grand Prix is held at the hyper-modern Sepang International Circuit at Sepang, Malaysia which was first included in the Formula One World Championship in 1999. The 1962-1965 seasons of the original Formula 2 Grand Prix held on the Thomson Road circuit in Singapore is regarded as an earlier precedence of the Malaysian Grand Prix, when Singapore was originally part of the Malaysian federation from 1963 to 1965. After Singapore seceded from the federation in 1965, the Grand Prix continued on until 1973. Between Singapore’s departure from the Malaysian federation and the opening of Sepang Circuit, Malaysia hosted a range of other racing tournaments at Shah Alam’s own circuit between 1968 to 1995, including the Tasman Series (1968-1972), Formula Pacific (1973-1974, 1978-1982), Formula Atlantic (1975), Formula Two (1977) and Formula Holden (1995).

Sepang International Circuit designed by German designer Hermann Tilke, who would subsequently design the new facilities in Shanghai, Bahrain and Turkey. Sepang is one of the most technical circuits in Formula One. The combination of long high-speed straights, and tight twisting complexes make the track very complicated, but also perfect for overtaking as the track itself is very wide. The drivers love it and, along with Malaysia’s distinct atmosphere, it makes for an experience unique in Formula One. The main circuit, normally raced in a clockwise direction, is 5.54 kilometres long, and is noted for its sweeping corners and wide straights. The layout is quite unusual, with a very long back straight separated from the pit straight by just one very tight hairpin. Other configurations of the Sepang circuit can also be used. The north circuit is also raced in a clockwise direction. It is basically the first half of the main circuit. The course turns back towards the pit straight after turn 6 and is 2.71 kilometres long in total. The south circuit is the other half of the racecourse. The back straight of the main circuit becomes the pit straight when the south circuit is in use, and joins onto turn 8 of the main circuit to form a hairpin turn. Also run clockwise, this circuit is 2.61 km in length. Sepang International Circuit also features kart racing and motocross facilities.

It should have been the thrilling launch to the new season. The F1 battle recommences in Melbourne this weekend but as usual there’s a whole bunch of commercial strife and petty politics threatening to overshadow what could be an incredible and historic main event.

Before winter testing got underway many were predicting that the grid would not be as tight as it was in 2008 and there would be some real winners and real losers with the new-spec cars. Designing from a blank sheet of paper means that teams cannot copy the obvious innovations of other teams and that gives a much broader range of lap times.

However when Toyota, Ferrari and BMW tested together in Bahrain they were invariably separated by just fractions of a second. Renault were also fast when Alonso got behind the wheel and then the newly-emerged Brawn team joined the party late on and trumped them all.

McLaren started off slow, identified a performance shortfall, then got a little bit quicker at the last moment when none of their serious competitors were around and Williams ended up faster than anyone at the final Jerez test day.

The sum total of all this is that Renault, Brawn, Ferrari, Toyota, BMW, McLaren or even Williams could win the Melbourne GP. So what a pity that the FIA won’t get involved and make a definitive ruling over the rear diffusers of the Toyota, Brawn and Williams cars.

Leaving it up to the stewards at the event not only means that there will be rows and arguments this weekend, but it has given no time for the teams to make alternative arrangements. It’s been reported that at least one of the teams is so confident that their rear diffuser is legal that they have taken no alternative rear wing to Australia.

In the grand scheme of things, this is yet another element in the yawnsome power play between the sports’ governing body, the FIA, and the teams’ organisation FOTA. Some believe that Max Mosley doesn’t like the unanimity and the power that FOTA can wield and so having the teams protest and argue amongst themselves is all grist to the mill.

If the FIA really wanted a smooth-running event, then they should have made a ruling on the cars some time ago. That way, the media interest will all be on the racing – which should be fantastic – and not the politics.

A separate diversion is the argument stoked by Bernie Ecclestone who allegedly hasn’t paid TV money owed to Renault and McLaren. That just seems like more fuel on the divide-and-rule fire.

Providing that the Brawn team can pass scrutineering they are the hot favourites to take a maiden win in their first race, the first time that will have been done since the Wolf Team triumphed in 1977. To do so in 2009 is an ocean harder than Walter ever had it. Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello have all the qualities needed to succeed on a street circuit.

Jarno Trulli is a great qualifier at Monaco and Melbourne and if the Toyota lives up to the pre-season hype, the Roman could be battling for a podium. As for the rest – well, it could be anyone except the two Force Indias and Nelson Piquet.

The over-riding reaction to this new season of F1 will be the look of the cars and their rear wings resembling something designed by a Year 7 Technology class, plus the cumbersome front wings – many of which might bite the dust at Turn 1. It will be interesting to see who heads back to the pits first, but our money’s on Nakajima.

With a new season in prospect the results of practice on Friday and Saturday will come under almost as much scrutiny as qualifying and the race. The covers are about to be lifted and a new season begun. It could be another epic.

The Australian Grand Prix is a Formula One race that is part of the annual Formula One championship season. It is held at the Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit at Albert Park in Melbourne. The Australian Grand Prix is the first round of the Championship. The event was held annually since 1928 at various venues in Australia, before it became part of the Formula One championship in 1985. The race was held at the Adelaide Street Circuit in Adelaide from 1985 to 1995.

Watch Australian Grand Prix live online at www.watchf1.net. The 2009 formula 1 racing season is upon us and all the races will be available via f1 live streaming links available to you with your subscription at www.watchf1.net. The ING Australian Grand Prix 2009 will once again be held at the Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit and marks the 13th time that the f1 racing season will begin in Australia.. The race will be held on 27th March 2009 at 01:30 GMT.

Ex-racer-turned-entrepreneur Bob Jane wanted a race in Melbourne. He created a huge “thunderdome” and invented the AUSCAR series, bringing NASCAR action to Australia. Iin 1992 Jeff Kennett was elected the new premier of the State of Victoria. He immediately set about improving Melbourne’s profile. First on his list was the Australian Grand Prix. An agreement was reached with Formula One in 1993, but the contract with Adelaide did not expire until 1995. So in 1996 the race moved to Melbourne to beautiful Albert Park, the layout smooth and flowing, with no 90 degree street corners to break the speed. It runs clockwise around a lake, and the scenery is breathtaking, the circuit well liked by the drivers. It has 16 corners (left:6 and right:10) : Jones, Brabham, Lauda, Marina, Clark, Waite, Hill, Ascari, Stewart, Prost.

In terms of Grand Prix victories, Michael Schumacher and McLaren are the most successful driver and team respectively. After Michael Schumacher’s retirement, David Coulthard, Rubens Barrichello and Giancarlo Fisichella will be the only drivers to have started every single Melbourne race.

The term Formula 1 provides in itself an aura of elite competition, speed and excellence. F1 Superboats are the ultimate in outboard circuit racing and provide all of the elements a motor sporting enthusiast would desire or expect from this premier form of competition.
The start of a Grand Prix is among the most exciting of all sporting moments. A desperate struggle for immediate advantage as a grid full of vastly powerful cars, and vastly skilled drivers, all try to arrive first at the first corner.
