* = time set in second 15-minute elimination session; ** = time set in first 15-minute elimination session

Great run from Jenson, if he has the race pace this could be it *fingers crossed*. Though it is a tough top of the grid with Fisichella, Alonso and Raikkonen close. Not a great position for Rosberg either.

Come on Jenson!!!

It's about time he got a win.

[Summers]

Jenson all the way, come on baby!

[hugobomb]

Come on Liuzzi!

What? I happened to be fan of Toro Rosso, but would have prefered it if they had kept the Minardi name

[Psicosis]

They got Murray Fucking Walker doing commentary down here in Australia. It's good to have him back.

[9 to 5]

Bwahahaha, poor Mr Button.

Hell of a race, best F1 race for ages probably - sad to say it's due to the shunts more than anything else, but there you go.

Meanwhile, Red Bull's David Coulthard scored his 500th career point after Toro Rosso's Scott Speed was handed a 25-second penalty after overtaking Coulthard under a yellow flag.

Speed, who also received a $5,000 (£2,877) fine for allegedly swearing at Coulthard during the stewards hearing, was demoted to ninth.

That last paragraph made me laugh for some reason.
