I would hope that the 16 top drivers competing for the world championship could manage to avoid each other. They've had enough practice and certainly know the cars by now.

That said, I say 3.

race day how exciting
 


F1 is quite boring to be honest, bring on the aussie V8's, the aerodynamics are butt ugly and such a small feild don't make for great veiwing. About time F1 was made alterations to reduce cost to encourage more manufactuers and teams
 might go ride past albert park during the race just to hear them scream past

still 14 days til MOTOGP   bikes far better to watch then the cars
