Expect a slow-starting race and a sprint to the flag 2014 Australian Grand Prix pre-race analysis March 15, 2014 at 6:30 pm by Keith Collantine 10 comments If unpredictability is the key to great motor racing then tomorrow’s Australian Grand Prix should be one for the ages. Exactly what will unfold around 58 laps of Albert Park is the subject of intense speculation. A variety of outcomes – some positive, others negative – are possible. How competitive will the racing be? Are Mercedes about to reveal the full strength of their hand and inflict an embarrassing rout on their rivals? Or will Daniel Ricciardo’s superb front row qualifying performance for Red Bull serve as the prelude to an opening-race win for the team, which few would have expected when they were eating dust in Bahrain just two weeks ago? Just as important, how good will the racing be? This could be a long-awaited return to drivers fighting tooth-and-nail in cars with insufficient grip for their prodigious power. Or we might be about to tune in to and hour and a half of ‘lift-and-coast’ radio messages with only the occasional retirement to liven things up? And with two rookie drivers starting in the top eight and three world champions outside the top ten, tomorrow’s grand prix offers many intriguing possibilities.
