It was a dissapointing qualifying session for Lewis Hamilton as he failed to make it to Q3 lapping just 0.138s behind Adrian Sutil who rounded out the top 10 that made it to Q3. Perhaps the little incident with the Australian Police had him looking in the rearview mirrors a little too much. Red Bull takes the front row for the Australian GP with Vettel’s amazing run breaking into the 1:23s.

Here are the final qualifying results:

1 Sebastian Vettel - RBR-Renault - 1:23.919
2 Mark Webber - RBR-Renault - 1:24.035
3 Fernando Alonso Ferrari - 1:24.111

5 Felipe Massa - Ferrari - 1:24.837
6 Nico Rosberg - Mercedes Benz GP Ltd - 1:24.884
