And I hope Webber doesn't either!

I think the first 4 will be fine but with Montoya, Raikkonen Barrichello, and Alonso way back, expect something silly!

Yeah, Im expecting fireworks at the start, and lap2, 3. And meanwhile, the best tintop racing in the world, may the red cars collide

Certainly Kimi's save was the highlight

Good to see Webber fastest and I do hope that Williams were bluffing all along but Fisichella wasn't pushing

Gascoyne expects to Toyota to be with BAR and Williams
Has he already resigned

Rumour has it, they grow some interesting "tobacco" in the dandenongs. Perhaps he inhaled some!!

Interesting grid!

So your scenarios for the start ? Many cars retiring on the first lap ?

Who will be the first to retire due to car failure (not accident or driver error) ?

No winners, just bragging rights

Started on the Trivia questions yet ?

Minardi - Freesacker (Note the anglosised spelling!)

Barrichello and Karthikeyan run into each other, Ralf Schumacher doesn't see them and does another one of his flyers!

5 cars will be out on the first lap.

Button will be the first out with a blown engine

As this is the first race, everyone will be catious and we won't have any pileups. First car to retire with mechanical problems will be a McLaren most likley Montoya

Button is gentle on his car and won't stress his engine. Sato had a an engine change

Good to watch a race in prime time!

Race starting shortly. No change on the starting grid except for Michael and Sato dropping back a place each due to engine change. Massa now starts from 18th.

Conditions are dry, air temperature 19, track 26

Live timing here

Enjoy the race

kimi in trouble on the warm up goes to the rear

Race now 57 laps

Bad luck continues for Raikkonen. Looks like he'll be able to start from the pit lane

Has caught Schuey!!!

Fisi fastest lap

Webber looking good, hope he,s not running light
