    Morning,

    It happens every year, it does nothing but totally piss the fans off, but WTF is there always that stupid break of nearly two months from Australia to the next round? Can anyone give a little clarity?

    BTW It was great to hear Jules and Keith commentating again on ITV4 on Monday night (loved WSB on Sky back in the 90s).

    Yes, the time between the first and second race is just stupid. I can sort of understand the fact that they have now raced under real racing conditions and teams may want to make some serious/major adjustments to their bikes, to make them more competitive in races 3 and 4 of the season. But 3 weeks is more than enough. Better ask Honda what they want to do. :)

    Mid April I think but worth having a early race to start the Motorsport season off early

    I think it has a lot to do with the weather, finding suitable venues in March is not easy, they could shuffle Sepang, but F1 is there in March, and its still quite rainy this time of year.
