All I can say is the Vettel was flying, the good thing for Hamilton is the fact that he can chose what tyres he ueses, also lat year he started at the back and came home in 4th (still got disqulaified) but drove well

I thought that was dismal qualifying, it practically mirrored last weeks and there was never any doubt that Red Bull wouldn't get pole, Webber made various errors when trying for first so Vettel got it quite easily. Disappointing by Hamilton (Apparently he's under a lot of stress atm, split from his manager (dad), split from his girlfriend and his car has been impounded in Australia) but an excellent drive by Button. I honestly thought the whole thing was a waste of my time

Hamilton is back with his Mrs

Yes if the car is reliable I think he will be gone for a good lead at the start. He is hard on the engine and tyres though and the curbs here are a bit unforgiving especially of you go slightly off-line.
Can't see Lewis not making a valiant effort and can as you say choose his tyre strategy. Alonso will be contend with though and I wouldn't dismiss Jenson either. Webber? Well he could end up taking anybody out at the start then it really will be a free for all.

I agree - the new rules are dire!

I liked the peice Eddie Jordan did about the new rules and the state of F1, he really seemed pissed off

Yes he certainly calls a spade a spade and he is right I think. =]

That's what I like about him, he shows passion

Kubicia to wipe everyone in front of him out the race at turn one. Hamilton win, Chandhok to be on the podium with Heiki. Bruno Senna to finish and Schumacher to stop moaning about being held up by slower cars. Thats my race prediction

LOL about Kubicia! Should be a good race - looks like the weather could mix things up. Shame it's so early but hopefully enjoyable!

It will.
