    They can be replaced at the discretion of the Technical Director following an inspection of the damage. Not sure if flat spots meet the criteria for ‘damaged’. He still has a further 2 sets of mediums to be used. I suspect he switched to softs to ensure he progressed to Q3.

    It appears the stewards agree with you too. I think Perez slammed the door shut pretty hard and contributed to that also.

    Surfers Paradise restaurants recommendations

    Our favourite in that area is Alfresco Italian on the corner of Hamilton Ave and Surfers Paradise Blvd. Never had a bad meal there. Q1 light rail station is quite close.

    Your favourite photos taken of/from a plane?

    Haha, I must confess, I spent a few years working at the airport fire station right next to the apron it is parked on. Thanks for the extra information. Helps to fill in a few blanks.
