I'd go for Takuma Sato as an outsider for the podium - 12/1 isn't bad.

would be my choice

 

[zefarelly]

Mark Webers more likely to hang it together than Sato, he's way too hard on his cars

 

[Easy 10]

Easy: how about one of the Red Bulls or Toyotas?

I'll have a few Red Bulls to keep my eyes open. Toyotas are RUBBISH though.

Face facts - Ferrari will walk it again.

Sadly now a very moribound sport.

Morning - i woke up to the sound of practicing here in Melbourne, i live a couple of km's from Albert Park.

Great atmosphere in the city this weekend, even if it is pissing it down!!

Never really been a fan of the sport, but bein this close to the circus, it is quite intoxicating. Gonna go tomrow for the first time, lookin forward to it..

18th! Hardly walking it!

Grid shouldn't change that much in Second Qualifying.

Fisi looks a good bet to win but Mark Webber to win his home grand prix! It could happen. Fisi could have reliabilty issues! Now THAT would be a result. F1's back - Love it.

 

[Kneon Light]

Fantastic 1st Qualifying session.
What a shame Schumacher is 18th so far!
I felt very sorry for Massa.
My each way bet on Trulli is looking good so far.

Lot's more rain and it may even exciting. But I doubt it.

I did type it in jest you know, like most of what I post on here isnt supposed to be taken seriously! Apart from when it comes to football that is

I used to be a big fan of F1-now, if it were to disappear off the sporting calendar I couldn't give a damn. All too predictable with the odd moment when the biggest financial package doesn't win.

 

[Rangdo]

They need to keep shaking it up so that people are on a more even playing field. The best season for a long time was when they introduced the 1 lap qualifying because everyone had to get used to it and it threw everything up in the air. Unfortunately, the following season when they had all got used to it was dullseville as usual.

Great first qualifying lap for Sato
