Teams still testing new components and setup for race day, but trends are forming on who are front runners. After Renault have run unlimited engine setups, the RedBulls are clearly fast. Question is, will they last a race.

Although Merc are looking good I am still curious to see how they handle two fairly evenly matched drivers who want to take the title in a car that is capable. I suspect they are going to come to blows on track somewhere.

Typical radio message:

OK Lewis fuel saving mode, turn the revs down
Nico isn't going to overtake me is he?
No don't worry
WTF . . . . what's Nico doing?
Brawn .. . . Brawn .. .... . . where are you?

Of course I am a Button fan but i watched Button in FP1 and he was seamless, plenty of spins and slides and short shifting from even the top drivers but Button nailed it.

He may not be the fastest, nor the most exciting but I suspect he'll be a player.

I'm a little surprised to see Kimi so far back from Alonso.

Button won 3 out of last 5 races in Melbourne, so he knows better than most how to get around there. <thumbsup>

Are any of them considered as good qualifiers?

Tend to recall that Kimi was not special in the Lotus, and likewise Alonso had trouble with Massa at times ahead of him in qualification. While in race they typically both extract the max from the car in terms of final race result.
