Clarkson wearing tighty whities on the grid walk. Then smacking EJ in the mouth!

Two drivers being squeezed into one Sauber…… whaever happened to those tandem F1 cars???
McLaren outside the 107% rule
Hearing Ron Dennis say that Alonso was definitely not hurt in his crash which is why he was in hospital for three days and not racing two weeks later.Nope. Not hurt at all. We believe you Ron.
Castlemaine Lager (remember that?) becomes cool again.
The Taxi sign above one of the Sauber’s saying “off hire”
Sebastian Vettel wearing L plates on his car
Countless people speaking into microphones pretending that this sorry charade is in any way interesting or exciting.
FIA declaring a historic LeMans start for VdG/Nasr. Whoever gets to the car first gets to drive…
is there a prize for the correct answer?
Mercedes 1-2 by 20 seconds, is it 2014 already?
The revelation that Eddie Jordan’s “hair” is actually sourced from the cuttings of Suzi Perry’s lady garden.

Bernie announces a late boost to the grid numbers, Webber pulls up in his personal ‘Ute full of larger and a bottle of sherry for the shelias…
Sauber to bring back the “Le Mans” start procedure, pitting their three drivers against each other as the lights go out in Melbourne.
Fastest two runners get the drive. Simple as that.
Giedo vd Garde is revealed to be a handle for one F Alonso wearing an eyebrow wig and a false nose.
Jenson Button wins after driving the race backwards owing to a badly mounted gearbOx. This leads to the discovery that Ron put the car in the wind tunnel the wrong way round.
Sebastian Vettel’s pet ferret gets sucked into the air intake During Q1. The car is instantly fifteen hundredths faster. Ferrets are declared extinct in Australia on the following Monday.
Sauber, unable to choose between their three contracted drivers, opt to take the fairest route and shun all of them and employ the services of two more experienced drivers.
Shortly afterwards, they announce their new lineup of Taki Inoue and Rubens Barrichello. And then, due to a contractual oversight, Ralf Schumacher also.

A streaker on the track around lap 11 only to be wrestled to the ground by Bernie Ecclestone on lap 14
The podium. It’ll go something like this:
Merc lockout of the top steps with both drivers wearing forced smiles and trying to hide the daggers. D-Ric takes third and looks happier than the Merc team and the entire country from which the victorious driver hails. D-Ric opens race suit to reveal an “I am the Stig’s Australian cousin” t-shirt then moons the Merc boys.
Crazy D does the post-award interviews and emerges from stage right. Somehow Seb has managed to sneak onto the podium, ambushes him and pours a bottle of cold piss (Fosters will do in a pinch) down the tighty-whiteys before running off shouting “if you think you got a nasty taunting this time, you ain’t seen nothin’…”
In other news, we finally find out that Bernie is an advanced animatronic modification of the real Ecclestone’s corpse which has been bereft of life for a decade. This only becomes apparent when its bottom jaw falls off on the grid and nobody notices until Maldonado runs over it, buggers up his front suspension and takes four other cars off trying to get back to the pits – which he ultimately fails to do.
The rest of the race will be as dull as heavily-regulated, homogenised and uniform opacity ditchwater, sadly.

Continuing a long and proud history of Aussie comedians gate crashing press conferences
Well the correct answer was Toto Wolff doing the podium interviews
Dontcha just hate it, we came up with a bunch of great suggestions and then Mr Horner trumps us by throwing his toys well and truely out of his pram…… damn!
Well he needs room in the pram for when he becomes Mr Halliwell.
Jenson Button’s 1950’s womaniser moustache. When he was being interveiwed by Suzy Perry i half expected him to look straight at the camera and utter the phrase “ding dong”.
