Lewis Hamilton stormed to victory in what was another dominant qualifying session for Mercedes in Melbourne. Hamilton, who had to fight off a strong performance from his team-mate Valtteri Bottas, gets his sixth straight pole position in Formula 1. How will they line-up tomorrow? 

As always, the first corner will be interesting. Sebastian Vettel will be diving around trying to pass at least one of the Silver Arrows, while Max Verstappen will also try to get in on the party. 

Romain Grosjean sets the pace for 'the best of the rest' with Haas producing some eye-catching lap times in both FP3 and qualifying. Lando Norris, on his debut Formula 1 race starts with the experienced Kimi Raikkonen breathing down his neck.

The home favourite has some work to do if he's going to make it a memorable day for the Australian fans. Having said that, he will start five places ahead of his old Red Bull car. Pierre Gasly wouldn't have prepared to start that low down.

Providing they'll be no penalties, the two Williams drivers will bring up the rear on the formation lap.
