Chief F1 writerFinally, after the longest winter break in Formula 1 history, the new season is here - and it has been welcomed by rain.
The Thursday build-up day took place in glorious Australian sunshine, but dawn broke to wind and water on Friday and it is expected to continue through the day, and perhaps into Saturday, too.
That’s not great news for hopes of lots of track action, but it raises the chances of action and excitement for those of us watching.
