Justin: With my esteemed colleague off on his honeymoon it's down to me to hold the blogging fort together. Still, at least he is nearer the same time zone to the Aussie GP so he doesn't have to get up at 5am to watch quali and the race tomorrow (one assumes he will put his foot down early on in the marriage and say he will be watching the race whilst on honeymoon...a man needs his F1 after all).
Anyway, it looks ominous at the moment as Vettel put his car on pole like a champion. He utterly dominated the session ending up half a second quicker than second placed Hamilton. He was some .8 of a second ahead of his team-mate Webber, who ended up third! Button followed in fourth with Alonso some 1.2 seconds behind Vettel in 5th. It's the top five guys from last year taking the top 5 positions.
Ferarri have their work cut out being so far behind, somewhat unexpectedly. Their car did not run on the hard tyres very well at all as it struggled to get tyre temperatures to an optimum.
Petrov did very well coming in sixth. All of Schumi's early promise faded as he came eleventh.
It should be a good race tomorrow, but one can't help but feel that if Vettel gets some early momentum he could be difficult to catch.
