I seriously hope sauber wins, :(, only swiss team.
Even though I am aussie.. Mark Webber is ****.

[United.Road]

haha yeh webber is useless

red bull are unreliable aswell

[Blinger1]

Why does that Jordan team even exist? they fall out in the 1st lap anyway!!

[Judge Judy]

Hamilton to win :D

[e5]

Theres been tonnes of new rules being put in place for this season.

[Titch]

haha yeh webber is useless

red bull are unreliable aswell

Red bull wil suprise you this season, on a good day they could get a podium, webber is not useless hes one of best drivers in f1. Red bull done over10km testing and had no problems and just luck has it they have em now.

Watch out for raikkinon, he will storm through the field like china 2 years ago.

na ones that will suprise are
toro rosso
honda

[Titch]

na ones that will suprise are
toro rosso
honda

Honda arnt quite there yet, around monaco see them suddenly start toom boom, toro rosso could easily be a top 4 team as they are pretty muhc ferrai`s but with diffrent colour, they just need relability and skilled drivers which they both now have.

[CJW93]

Aha Brilliant start to the season
Hamilton pole position. Kubica and Bmw sure do look strong though. Brilliant to see Alonso miss out the top 10 shootout. Kimi and Ferrari do not look at all dangerous today once again reliability is the key with Ferrari in Australia. No traction control will make the races a whole lot more interesting. Now that the FIA have introduced the rule i believe that racing will rely more on the drivers than the cars themselves. Very impressed with Honda they have tried to improve on last years crappy car. Hamilton to cruse past the start finish line tomorrow morning.
C'mon Hamilton
Itv 3:30 am!!!

[Andeeh]

Kovelinan is doing well at McLaren ;)

Hamilton to win ;)

[brandon]

LOL IM STUPID.

I thought it said Bahrain ;)
Excuses excuses.

Good to see Hamilton in pole position!

[Jordy]

I can still see Raikonnen winning it, it's a very strong Ferrari circuit and they always do well on it. It takes no time to race up from nearish the bottom. I can see Hamilton going in for his second pit stop and Kimi leap frogging him :P

Honda & Toro Rosso won't surprise really, Honda will have slightly improved and Vettel will do well for Toro Rosso. However Red Bull & Toyota are the one's to watch out for this year. Renault & William's will continue to go down hill though.

Pah! I doubt Raikonnen will come all the way back from 16 to win it! He'll get into the top 5 tops

[Mr.Sam]

redbull did really well in pre season practices, this season they will do well I think.
they should be finishing just behind mclaren and ferrari.

I was really surprised by BMW today :8

toro rosso are using practically the same car as last year

[CJW93]

The real battle will be with Hamilton and Kubica.
The first corner will decide it I think

[Andeeh]

Excuses excuses.
