Qualifying results had a few suprises. McLaren were strong as expected but no one suspected they would be ahead of everyone else. They starts first and second.
Grosjean was a big surprise in 3rd. The Lotus was fast in testing but no one expected them to be that high up. Add to that Grosjean never raced in Melbourne and so he is pretty much a rookie here. Impressive

Sunday March 18, 2012 4:24

4:25

In 4th is Michael Schumacher in the much improved Mercedes. They have certainly made a step forward and are right behind McLaren

Sunday March 18, 2012 4:25

4:26

Webber starts in 5th and Vettel in 6th. No one expected that, particularly with Vettel who had dominated qualifying in 2011. Webber set his best time in Q3 wthout KERS making his time the more impressive
