Force India are a team on the move in 2010. With Adrian Sutil, Vitantonio Liuzzi and the VJM03 they have qualified inside the top ten and scored points at both rounds to date. Experienced drivers and a competitive car means it’s a pattern that team owner Vijay Mallya is confident will continue.

Renault’s second-place finish was arguably the biggest shock of the Australian Grand Prix weekend and much of it was down to the skills of the man behind the wheel, Robert Kubica, who kept his cool as supposedly faster rivals tripped up in the tricky conditions. The Pole reviews his Melbourne race and looks ahead to Malaysia…

As in Bahrain, Sebastian Vettel and Red Bull were the fastest combination in Melbourne.

It may not have opened the season this year but Melbourne’s Albert Park was en fete yet again for this weekend’s Australian Grand Prix.

Red Bull clinched the front row of the Melbourne grid with ease on Saturday, with Sebastian Vettel taking pole ahead of team mate – and local hero – Mark Webber. Behind the Red Bull duo, Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso, McLaren’s Jenson Button and Felipe Massa in the other Ferrari made up the top five. The big surprise, however, was Lewis Hamilton failing to make it through to Q3.

His Red Bull team mate Sebastian Vettel eventually ended qualifying on top, but Mark Webber came very close to securing pole position at his home race on Saturday.

The pecking order in Bahrain suggested Red Bull and Ferrari were the clear frontrunners, with McLaren and Mercedes following in their wake.
