Do you need permission to make these threads?

Will Red Bull dominate?

Has Ferrari shown their hand?

**m schumy** · 26th March 2011, 05:24

I`m not going to predict anything because things can change during Qualy, but the Red Bulls are certainly looking like the team to beat today

**Raz** · 26th March 2011, 05:45

Better to beat them on Sunday - as Fred said

**NJB13** · 26th March 2011, 05:52

I would love to hear from the team (or someone) as to why we went backwards since yesterday?

Australian GP – Qualifying next
Melbourne, 26 March – The final free practice session here at Albert Park, prior to tomorrow’s Australian Grand Prix, has just ended. Fastest were the two Red Bull’s, with Sebastian Vettel setting a time of 1.24.507, while Mark Webber did a 1.25.364. Third was Lewis Hamilton in the McLaren in a time of 1.25.553.

Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro continued working on various set up options aimed at qualifying, using both types of tyre. Fernando Alonso was quickest of the two in his 150° Italia, sixth on the time sheet in 1.26.121, completing16 laps. Team-mate Felipe Massa was twelfth, on 1.27.011, doing 15 laps.

Qualifying to decide the grid for the opening round of the World Championship gets underway at 5 this afternoon, local time.

Has the beeb become The "Paul Di Resta Show"?

**Lithium** · 26th March 2011, 06:45

So... that FP3 showing really soured our optimism... I certainly hope that it was only temporary, especially as both Nando and Massa were quicker yesterday. So good luck to our boys!

**Raz** · 26th March 2011, 06:46

HAHAH DC going off in the Redbull Megan race

**Hornet** · 26th March 2011, 06:50

**Raz** · 26th March 2011, 06:55

**LeonKennedy** · 26th March 2011, 07:01

live timing not working?

**Ferrari_Fanatic** · 26th March 2011, 07:02

comeeeeeeeeeee onnnnnnnn Fernando and Felipe!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**SanderV** · 26th March 2011, 07:02

Morning all.

Must say the BBC commentary sounds a bit strange to me. Brundle is really taking his lead role.

For qualifying I will be satisfied with second row.

**scuderiafan** · 26th March 2011, 07:03

and they haven't really talked about our setup problems so maybe it's not so bad. maybe were just doing different things, like Singapore last year. we weren't going great but ended up winning the race. I hope for the best
