I'm surprised noone created this yet.
I was at the qualifying in Melbourne today and it was fantastic. Fortunately the 40 degree temperature from yesterday was not there today and during the qualifying it was a much cooler 24
Good on Hamilton getting pole position, and Coulthard did well to get 8th. Poor old Jensen not getting into the final 10 and the same goes to Webber who spun out not from from where I was
Anyway, I'm sure Kimi will get back into the front end action pretty quickly tomorrow

Hammilton certainly looks to be the man to beat. |

awesome pace by the BMW's tho. kubica would have been on pole if not for that slide across the grass...
this could be a great season if there are 3 teams regularly battling it out for victory |

A true season opener. Many drivers still on their winter break, and looking very ragged.
Well done Hamilton, the most consistent all weekend, and fully deserved the win.
Last season I predicted Hamilton would be a revelation, and he exceeded all expectations, now the expectation is that he should win the title, so will the pressure get to him. Not on todays showing, but it is a long season.

no traction control will be an important factor this year................
was a action packed race though, how many cars were left, not even 10? 
oooo, and it was 40 degrees here today, 50 on the track, would have been hard for the drivers!

sorry for the late reply. I was in transit.
My prediction would have been Hamilton and thats what happened. I also predicted that Kimi would race through the pack to the top 3 but that didn't happen.
anyway, it was a great race and so now looking forward to the next in Malaysia

All the hype about Ferrari being the the team to beat was just bullish, nothing like that happened.
If not for Raikkonen's errors he should have finished atleast second.
Anyways he gets a point.
Looking forward to the next race on Sunday at Sepang. |

Anyone hear about Hamilton and Kovalainen 5 place grid penalties. What a pity was hoping for a high tension start with Massa going off the road into the grass (as usual  ), but looks like its not to be and might possibly be a ferrari dominated race tomorrow. What a pity  .

I'm guessing those sanctions were down to their really slow fuel saving drive back to the pits after Q3 this morning, getting in the way of one of the BMWs if I recall correctly.
Also if I recall correctly, there were more cars, other than Lewis' and Heikki's doing this.

Thats right, it was because they were trying to save fuel, not sure if anyone else was doing this, missed qualiy, but sadly for some reason Max and Bernie have it in for poor old Ron Dennis and McLaren, although this might not be one of "those" times when McLaren may have been inappropriately penalized.

Inappropriate? Have you really seen the footage.They didn't get off the racing line even at braking point.Both for Nick and Fernando. At the same time kubica and some others got off the racing line. |
