The Australia Pole Poll
The beer is chillin'. The chain is playin'. And the Formula 1 season 2008 is about to be Go! Go! Go!
Ferrari and McLaren have been topping the time sheets. But Red Bull have surprisingly been right behind them.
There are a large number of inexperienced rookies on the grid this year. The traction control ban has made the cars harder to drive. The lack of launch control means that it's much easier to have a slow start off of the line. And Australia's first corner has often had problems in the past. There is a good chance that a large number of drivers don't make it past lap one.
So give us your pole prediction and your top eight. And if you haven't already make sure you get your season prediction in as well entrants for both end before qualifying tonight.

I'm going to have to be first to the line today, as I'm not going to be online later. For pole:
Raikkonen.
Then, in no particular order:
1. Raikkonen
2. Hamilton
3. Massa
4. Kovalainen
5. Alonso
6. Webber
7. Rosberg
8. Kubica
My first crazy, crazy prediction of the week:
The race is going well for Alonso. Some of the top drivers have crashed out at the first corner. He has a chance of a podium. Then come the pit-stops. He flies into the pit-lane, brakes just before the line, and impatiently trundles towards his box. He turns in and stops - there is a car already there! It's Hamilton! Absent-mindedly, Alonso has turned into the McLaren garage by mistake. He can't reverse to his own garage. He's stuck. Lewis moves away and Alonso pulls up to the mechanics pleading with them to fill him up with fuel and change his tyres. They ignore him. He has to go round again, thus losing all chance of a podium or any points...
Raikkonen.
