I am sure we are all excited by the prospect of a new year. Unfortunately I won't be in Australia for the GP this year. It is our 25th wedding anniversary at the end of March and we are going to Phuket for a week in the beginning of March. My first trip outside Oz!!
I booked the holiday before checking the date of the GP.
Must remember to get my tips in!!!
Good luck to everyone.

Winner : Kimi Raikkonen
Second : Felipe Massa
Third : Lewis Hamilton
Fourth : Nick Heidfeld
Fifth : Nico Rosberg
Sixth : Heikki Kovalainen
Seventh : Fernando Alonso
Eighth : Robert Kubica
Pole : Kimi Raikkonen
I think Ferrari and McLaren have the edge (based on pre-season testing), so I picked them to finish in the top 3. GO KIMI!!

Thank you for submitting your 8 'n' Pole picks for the Grand Prix of Australia.
You have registered the following picks :
Winner : Lewis Hamilton
Second : Felipe Massa
Third : Heikki Kovalainen
Fourth : Kimi Raikkonen
Fifth : Fernando Alonso
Sixth : Mark Webber
Seventh : Nick Heidfeld
Eighth : Nelson Piquet Jr

The start of something new. Hammo (& McLaren) will win the season. Ferrari will be close, then Alonso will fight the rest for the last points.
Have a good trip Jacfan.

Second: Lewis Hamilton
Third: Felipe Massa
Fourth: Fernando Alonso
Fifth: Heikki Kovalainen
Sixth: Nico Rosberg
Seventh: Robert Kubica
Eighth: Mark Webber
Pole: Kimi Raikkonen
Im going with the conventional wisdom that Maccas and Ferrari are a cut above the rest, Alonso will be leading the best of the rest of which the biggest surprise is going to be Nico Rosberg, followed by Webber in a mildly competitive, reliable car.
Nick Heidfeld didnt feature in my (extensive and lengthy
) deliberations so I guess he must be going to have a bad day.
Looking forward to being proved wrong
