    I would say yes.

    The cars can defo follow each other much more closlely than before, and those with KERS seem to have a good advantage in over taking during the race.

    Naturally, everyone is a bit cagey in Melbourne anyway, as it's all about finishing due to the high attrition rate.

    Give the drivers time to get used to the way the new cars work, and I think we will begin to see more over taking, particularly as they all adopt and get to grips with KERS

    KERS was very interesting to see where the drivers used it. Massa was using it all up by halfway round, Lewis the exact opposite.

    I'd rather they all had it though, evens it out.

    So what did you folks think of the 1st Grand Prix of the season then? I thought it was brilliant, good job done by the BBC I must say and NO adverts woo hoo and I got up to watch it live.

    Glad to see Button get another podium, hopefully 1st of many. And also for team Brawn on their 1st race to get 1 & 2 is superb put the cat amongst the pigeons so to speak

    Looks like it could be a good season...

    I'm now just waiting for the MOTO GP season to start in a couple of weeks time, watched the test session yesterday and it was brilliant Casey Stoner was flying and got the fastest lap and by doing so was given a brand new BMW 135 coupe' thats has been modded. Now the 4th or 5th car he has received for fastest laps etc over the years, jammy git.

    Now, and I'm only guessing here, that your a Ferrari fan. And that's fine. No, honestly is. However...

    Ferrari are the biggest bunch of wingers since Ronaldo last played in the Champions League. Every time a team has the slightest advantage, they complain. Every time someone cuts them up into the 1st corner, even though Massa was on the wrong line, and probably the wrong gear, they complain. That's possibly the reason they have the reputation

    KERS is interesting, I don't agree with Eddie Jordan that is has no place in F1, but I do think that once all the teams have it it'll bring a variety to the racing. If you have a car behind you that is pushing hard, do you use it in reaction to that driver or before him to get that little bit ahead? Very tactical - and it's important that as viewers we get to see who is using it when.

    Rain is scheduled for Malaysia, so that means it's anyones race - new wet tyres all round, new cars, lower downforce and a slippy track. Can't wait for the carnage!
