This Weekend's Coverage Schedule (March 16th)

The Formula 1 season finally begins down under in Melbourne, with a full slate of racing.

Although I said a few weeks ago I wouldn’t be covering F2 or F3 this season, I almost have to make an exception this weekend just because their times are very managable for me. What’s more is that both series were a lot of fun in Albert Park last year, so I kinda want to cover them.

All times are in EST.
