After Rosberg's lightning quick start in Australia I suspect Michael might have something to say about the McLaren's getting to turn 1 first. If he does get the lead there I think it will be a tire issue for him and that eventually the McLaren's will have the edge. It would not surprise me if they finish the way that they start. Kimi will be good for 5th or so which is disappointing as without his penalty he would probably be a podium contender. One of the RedBull drivers might have the speed to sneak onto the podium in Jenson's place - we will have to see.

I think MSC will nab Button at the start, but Hamilton is starting 16m directly in front of him, so that will be tough. Either way, I don't think he'll have the pace of the McLarens, so if they manage to beat him out to the first corner, they can run and hide.

True, if he gets out of the first corner drama free and in position ... he has a good chance.
