Sebastian Vettel will be starting the race from pole and if he can keep up the pace he showed yesterday, then he should have no trouble taking a podium place today. Behind him, the usual suspects will be hoping to make an impression in the first corner, his teammate, the McLaren drivers and Fernando Alonso.

Further back, the FIA confirmed that the 107% qualifying rule will be enforced and neither HRT driver will be starting the race. Nick Heidfeld has it all to do from the back of the field, as does Barrichello who's qualifying performance has handed him a difficult task today.

This is our first chance to see how the Pirelli tyres work in race conditions, and how many pit stops we're going to see, and with colder conditions in Australia than expected, it could be chaos out there.
