Yeah, I`m careful with predictions these days...but I sense Mark Webber, Nico Rosberg and Fernando Alonso within the top ten. Plus the usual ones, 2 Mc`s, 2 Ferraris and 2 BMW`s ....so one more top ten spot left....going to ??? Jarno Trulli.

...just me bet! Enjoy the qualifying!

Didn't he just make that pole lap look easy?

Didn't want to say anything else till you'd all watched it.

As I said, I should never ever predict anything again when it comes to F1. Following everything available since 1990 did not get me anywhere, even had to shave my head once after some F1 bet .

Yeah the red ones did struggle quite a lot, Massa was sideways nearly everywhere around the track. Don`t think he will be able to safe his tires enough over the distance! ...and oh boy Red Bull reliability, don`t get me started on this I just hope it`s not the start of the same striking series as last year!

Anyway, should be an interesting race tonight. 1. HAM 2. KOV 3. RAI

I doubt Rai will be up front, maybe 5th or 6th. Melbourne is notoriously difficult to pass on so i think 1) Ham 2) Mas 3) Kov.

Im going to have a go at staying up late, i did it last year

Awesome, how good do the cars look this year?

Makes a real change to see them sliding around like they used to in the old days.

I'll be watching it live...always do on the overseas races.

I`ll also try to catch it live , only have to move the missus away from the living room. She`ll have a girls night in and I assume the four ladies will still be awake and giggling.

@ Southwell: Overtaking is, as always, an issue but I assume wearing tires and the lack of TC will create more opportunities. RAI will show a great race if the horse doesn`t break. MAS with DNF... ?!?
