Australian GP Qualifying: McLaren 1-2 as Hamilton and Button shares top spots on the grid
Lewis Hamilton and McLaren team mate Jenson Button share the front row of the grid for the Australian Grand Prix.
A scorching lap of 1.24.922 put Hamilton clear of his team mate while Lotus’s Romain Grosjean took a surprise third.
This was despite team mate Kimi Raikkonen being eliminated in the first part of qualifying who missed the cut by a tenth of a second.
Both Ferraris missed out on the top ten and the Red Bulls with last years champion Vettel, consigned to the third row of the grid in position 5 and 6.

Good race but McLaren really needed to finish 1-2 to put some distance between then and SV/Red Bull. SV isn't much off the pace of the MP4's and Red Bull will have plenty of time to develop the car!

not in order:
Top 6 based on today
Jenson,Lewis,Vettel, Alonso,Schumacher, Raikonen.
