Australia Qualifying
A bit of an odd qualifying in ways. The Red Bull and Ferrari’s were fast as expected, but after showing decent pace in free practice sessions Lewis Hamilton went out in Q2, but his team mate Jenson had no problems getting through.
Webber looked to be the pick for the top spot right up until the final moments of the Q3 session, when his talented team mate Sebastian Vettel pipped him to the post to take pole on Marks home GP.
Michael Schumacher has shown better form this race so far, getting a lot closer to the times Nico Rosberg in most sessions so far.
This should be a decent race, with a lot more spice than there was in Bahrain, especialy as weather has been forecast to be stormy/rain.
