    I don't know. From our deprived US perspective I'd say:

    Winner: You guys in Melbourne
    2nd F1 for the pleasure of driving in Australia
    3rd the fans around the world, luckily for us the race is now later than ever in the day

    I agree with these three, although, I would really like to see Kubica take the win. He and Vettel need to get in the red cars as soon as possible.

    1) Felipe
    2) Rubens
    3) Fernando

    Jensen will lead much of the race. Kimi will set fast lap with 5 laps to go.

    Kimi does seem to have a way of pounding-out fast lap after fast lap towards the end of the race so I would agree with that prediction.

    1. Kimi
    2. Alonso
    3. Vettel

    Kimi said a couple of days ago that the season will end as it starts. Been that way for him the last two years. Alonso is, well, Alonso. Vettel is the new guy who has the speed to be in the same class with the other two. Call this a talent contest.

    1.Trulli (Toyota has done well at this track in the past as has Truli, *edit* they'd pulled a third in 2006 with Ralph. Trulli'd put it in P2 in Qualifying one year)
    2.Barrichello
    3.Glock
    4.Alonso
    5.Button
    6.Rosberg
    7.Kimi
    8.Naka
    9.Massa
    10.Webber

    Fourth, fifth and sixth place were a toss-up between the three.

    Love to see Kimi win it but that's not gonna happen. The KERS runners will have an advantage at the start but it'll be a long race and unless they get out in front with a BIG lead I predict with the new rules overtaking will indeed be easier and they'll loose out. Brawn, Toyota and Williams have a perfomance advantage and I don't care how skilled of a driver you are you're not going to make up the kind of advantage they have.

    We'll see. It should be fun. :)

    BMW shouldn't be written off quite yet. Their progression has been steady, they started 09 prep early and Kubica is capable.

    The nearest winner, at a glance, I think!, only (Not Button) he was top., but at least you mentioned him in the top 3!

    He didn't hang around long enough in it to find out!...;)

    Close, but no cigar!

    Well at a quick glance pretty much hopeless efforts..mine included..
