“Forget the reds,” the summary report at Italy’s La Gazzetta dello Sport website, written by correspondent Andrea Cremonesi, said.

It's Albert Park, anything could happen. The midfield qualifying from about 8th to 15th never really matters as it gets so jumbled in Turn 1. Surely they'll be a crash at the start?

Please, not tomorrow

I know it's Melbourne, I know how that first corner usually ends up, but a bit of good luck would be nice.

Schumacher \m/ ...possible win tomorrow

I would be already happy when he's on the podium for the first time since his comeback.

Vettel admitted that he made a small mistake in his final Q3 run.

Turn 3 and the subsequent section worries me even more than turn 1 for some reason. Hopefully all the front wings complete the first lap together with their cars.

Still, expecting a nice race tomorrow

Perez gets a five-place grid penalty for gearbox change.

[Mar]

Don't know if somebody posted it earlier but, guys (and girls), look at the times in Q2.

In one second there are cars from: Mercedes, McLaren, Lotus, Red Bull, Williams, Toro Rosso and Force India. Ferrari is out of the second for a few 1000th, but taking into consideration that Alonso binned it, I think we can also consider they would have been within the one second, and there is a Sauber in 1.1 seconds.

I know it's qualifying and I know it's Australia, but nevermind

[SpliT]

HRT will not be allowed to race tomorrow. Good decision

[phil1993]

Yes, very good decision. Apparently Ferrari felt they were better on one lap pace than race pace. Oh dear.

[François]

Didn't LRGP manage a few amazing starts over the last two seasons? If the E20 is similar in that respect then Grosjean, from the clean side of the grid, might trouble the McLaren pair's party down into turn 1.

Let's just hope he steers clear of Schumacher who has managed to hit something on the first lap in Melbourne for the past two years.

KERS not working for vettel apparently.

I thought it was Webber without KERS not vettel?

[Jad]

KERS is not eorking properly for Webber and not for Vettel...tyre degradation will remain the key factor for tomorrow's race as the weather will be clear tomorrow..and as we remember 10 years ago what happened at the first corner between barrichello and R.Shumacher...so let's wait and see whats happens.
