Pirelli considers tweaking markings
Pirelli is considering a tweak to its tyre marking system after difficulties distinguishing the colours over the Australian Grand Prix weekend. Ahead of the race, Pirelli announced that its tyres would have different coloured lettering this year to distinguish their compound - with the soft (yellow) and hard (silver) being used in Melbourne. But with teams finding it difficult at times to work out which colour tyres were in use when the cars were in action, Pirelli has promised to re-examine its plan.

Aliens Land at Zandvoort
Trans Tasman’s Madison Down was back for Race Two of Monday’s online racing event in the iRacing.com V8 Supercar Series amid the dunes of Zandvoort, bringing a collective (good-natured) groan from the rest of the field. Down snared pole position from Dylan Sharman in the VRS Falcon, while Wayne Harris and Darrin Vouch put on their best qualifying performances to date to grab third and fourth respectively. Next came Simon Black, Peter Kastanaras, Mark Rayner, Edward Van Velsen, Marty Atkins in a very impressive qualifying result, then Richard Lock rounding-out the top ten. Series godfather George Fullerton was eleventh, only 5/100ths of a second outside the top ten, the iRacing field bursting at the seams with a season-record twenty sim racers. At the race start it was all Down into [...]

British rookie Paul di Resta says his Formula 1 debut was 'definitely worth the wait' after a strong showing in his maiden grand prix for Force India. The 24-year-old Scot outqualified his more experienced team-mate Adrian Sutil, and then ran ahead of the German in the race before moving over twice to allow for varying strategies. Di Resta finished in 12th bu was elevated to 10th after the Sauber drivers were disqualified.

Australia Saturday quotes: Pirelli
Pirelli's Motorsport Director Paul Hembery: "We've had a thrilling qualifying session and set the quickest lap ever seen here, which has demonstrated the speed and reliability of our PZero tyres on a wide variety of front-running cars. "Albert Park is well-known as a tricky circuit that does not retain a lot of rubber, but despite the comparatively cool conditions this afternoon all the drivers demonstrated that they were able to make the most of the unique characteristics and excellent performance of our tyres

Horner unfazed by random race prospect
Red Bull Racing insists it is not worried that mixed up races caused by high degradation this year may not allow it to make the most of the speed of its car. Although the RB7 appears to be the car to beat ahead of the start of the season in Australia, there remains a high chance that clever strategies in the race could yet prove to be more important. When asked by AUTOSPORT if the uncertainty about the tyre impact was a worry ahead of the Albert Park event, Horner said: "Not really
