Anyone see Schumi for the 2012 season so far? Man looking like he on roids, no lie. Walking with a swag and smirk that suggest he is liking his car a lot.

He proved to be the fastest in practise so far in Melbourne but we all know most teams probably feeling out the conditions/cars.

Qualifying and Race coverage will be 2am local time Sat & Sun respectively.

Speed wrote:F1: Hamilton, Button Sweep Front Row For McLaren

Teammates Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button will start 1-2 in Australia...

Sebastian Vettel didn't win the pole or even qualify in the top five. McLaren scored a front row sweep. And a Lotus and a Mercedes will start in the top four.

Welcome to the first qualifying round of the 2012 Formula One season – a season shaping up to have quite a different look than the two prior campaigns.

Backing up his chart-topping run from Free Practice Three, Lewis Hamilton (1:24:922) captured the pole for Sunday's Australian Grand Prix at Melbourne's Albert Park, edging out McLaren teammate Jenson Button (1:25:074) for the No. 1 grid spot.

Newcomer Romain Grosjean rounded out the podium for Lotus, as the Mercedes of Michael Schumacher and Red Bull's Mark Webber completed the top five.

But it was McLaren that stole the show in qualifying as the famous British team backed up a solid winter with a superb performance on the first Saturday of 2012.
"It's fantastic to start the season this way and I'm massively proud of the team," said Hamilton, who notched his 20th career pole.

Button, the 2011 championship runnerup, was equally pleased.
"This is a great first result for us, and it's looking like it's going to be a very exciting season," he said.

Reigning World Champion Vettel, winner of a F1 record 15 poles in 2011, managed only the sixth-best time in the decisive Q3 round as Red Bull failed to put at least one car on the front row for the first time since Monza in 2010.

Mercedes' Nico Rosberg, Williams' Pastor Maldonado, Force India's Nico Hulkenberg and Toro Rosso's Daniel Ricciardo completed the top 10.

Meanwhile, Ferrari's 2012 struggles continued in qualifying as Fernando Alonso went off course and beached his car in the gravel a third of the way through Q2. The two-time World Champion was unable to continue and slipped to 12th in the order, while teammate Felipe Massa qualified four positions further down the grid in 16th.

Failing to advance out of Q1 was the Lotus of 2007 World Champion Kimi Raikkonen, who was making his first qualifying attempt since Abu Dhabi in 2009. Raikkonen will line up 18th on the grid, having missing out on a Q2 transfer spot by one position after running off track in Turn 12 on his final Q1 lap.

As expected, the HRT cars of Pedro de la Rosa and Narain Karthikeyan were slowest of the 24 qualifiers, and were outside the 107 percent time that guarantees a spot on the grid. Whether the two are allowed to compete in Sunday's race will be at the stewards' discretion.

Qualifying concludes Saturday's on-track activities in Melbourne.

Let's hope nobody screws up on Sunday! :roll:

:| You are a fan and you don't know the team is from Woking? McLaren really working from Woking.

Not surprised by McLaren. Thought Ferrari was sand-bagging...guess not. I thought the Red Bulls would be up there with McLaren. Hope Lotus is not a flash in the pan this year like they were last year...would be entertaining to see Kimi carve through the field since he should have enough soft tyres.

I actually am rooting for Schumacher to try and take the race to the McLarens, but that ducted wing while good in qualifying will be restricted during the race to the DRS zones.

Fingers crossed, this Mercedes development this season no doubt would be the result of hours of development by Michael and Ross. Looking forward to a hard start by the German to split the Mclarens.

Wow......Lotus in P3 and Schumie in P4

This is gonna be very interesting, would love to see a Lotus comeback. One of my favourite f1 cars was the JPS Lotus driven by Emerson Fittipaldi. Gorgeous car.

Lets see what Vettel does now when in a not so fast car as last year.
