my favourite thing about the F1?
The Pontoon!
Floating across the Lake in the middle of Albert Park makes getting from one side to the next a 2 minute task rather than a good 20 minutes. Little plastic squares that fit together like Lego & float. Awesome! Lots of old cars displayed...
which loose all of their charm & magic, being treated as show pieces, rather then all the lovelies you see on the street where you can imagine befriending the drivers on a sunny Melbourne day and enjoying a spin along the Esplanade together.
Lastly, I've got to say, I prefer the V8s.
I can imagine driving one (not at those speeds) but they are wholly easier to relate to and a bit more rough & tumble than the precision and delicate F1 cars.
