Formula 1: Qantas Australian Grand Prix results

 Vettel showed strongest of all, claiming pole position by nearly a full second. His wingman and hometown favorite Mark Webber landed third, McLaren's pairing of world champions Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button following in second and fourth, respectively. Fernando Alonso qualified fifth, his teammate Felipe Massa relegated to eighth with Renault's Vitaly Petrov impressively placing sixth on the starting grid ahead of Mercedes' Nico Rosberg, while his senior counterpart Michael Schumacher landed only eleventh behind Kamui Kobayashi's Sauber and Sebastien Buemi's Toro Rosso. Sauber's Sergio Perez, newcomers Paul di Resta (Force India) and Pastor Maldonado (Williams), Adrian Sutil (Force India), Rubens Barrichello (Williams), Nick Heidfeld (filling in for Robert Kubica at Renault), Lotus' Heikki Kovalainen and Jarno Trulli, and Virgin's Timo Glock and Jerome d'Ambrisio rounded out the rest of the grid, while HRT failed to qualify at all under the re-instituted 107% rule.
