The hot topic of the day is of course what happened in qualifying for the Malaysian GP earlier on today.

The session was a little mixed up due to the constant threat of rain which ensured most of the teams went out earlier in each session than usual to put in a decent time in case the heavens really did open - which they didn’t in the end.

F1:2008 - Thoughts on the Australian Grand Prix

First of all, congratulations to Lewis Hamilton for getting his season off to the perfect start - he not only drove well to win, but was lucky enough that those thought to be his main competitors for the title all stumbled and failed to finish, although Raikkonen did eventually manage to claim a point.

However, Lewis has said a couple of things since his win which strike me as odd.  Firstly he claims this was his best ever victory - which is weird given that he was very rarely under any pressure at all from those behind him, and neither did he actually have to pass anyone.  It’s perhaps his most comfortable win, but I doubt it will live forever in the minds of his fans as being his greatest victory.
