The weekend was pretty good. I found car speed once again and changed my driving style a little to suit the car setup. It obviously worked as I made inroads in every race.

Even though it was a non-points-paying round it was certainly good to be mixing it with the top ten for the weekend and hopefully that will continue at Hamilton in a month’s time.

Which brings me to a question from Karen – I have seen the track layout on paper only and I can’t wait to get over there and drive it. Unfortunately our merchandise won’t be available on track in New Zealand but we will have a new e-store up and running from http://www.teamboc.com.au/  in the near future.

I wasn’t a fan of the grid setups for the weekend. I know they affected most people but I didn’t enjoy dropping back from 12th (where I finished race one) to 15th on the grid for the start of race two.

It reminded me of the reverse grid in a way and I think the grid should always be as it is in normal rounds.

Aside from the last race where I lost out in my tussle with Steven Richards, via hitting a tyre bundle, I was happy with my performance on the weekend and more weekends like that will certainly keep me smiling.

There’s a full month until the next round and hopefully our team will enjoy their time off. We didn’t hurt the cars badly at the Grand Prix which will give them extra time with their families before we head across the Tasman.

I’m also looking forward to Easter and plenty of chocolate, although I don’t really need an excuse to eat chocolate.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Grand Prix and while there was a lot to like about Lewis Hamilton I would like him to show us a bit more of who he is rather than behaving like a robot in his media conferences.

Maybe that is who he really is but I would like to see a bit more freedom from him with his emotions.

Kimi Raikkonen shows his emotions. So do David Coulthard and Mark Webber; it just shouldn’t be so robotic with Hamilton.

I was amazed at the impact in Timo Glock’s incident. Obviously those cars aren’t made to fly and shatter on impact but I can’t believe a somewhat routine trip off the track ended the way it did because of a grass mound. I’ll bet his back was hurting after that landing!

After the Grand Prix Mish and I went shopping and bought a heap of stuff for little ‘Nacho’ at a store in Richmond – so much that we have almost bought all we need to.

I noticed a few comments on Cam’s Kombi and it’s not his regular car. His usual ride is an SS Commodore.

Take care over the Easter break and be safe on the roads.

I went into the weekend at Eastern Creek feeling pretty good about my chances and after finishing 12th in Friday practice on green tyres I felt like we could continue to improve. Unfortunately that didn’t happen.
 
We didn’t have the same car balance we had at Clipsal or in practice and, along with the whole field, [...]

I’m just chilling out today and getting ready to drive up to Eastern Creek tomorrow for what promises to be a big weekend of racing. I love the circuit at Eastern Creek as it is always open to good racing, but also clean racing. There never seems to be too many cars which come out [...]
