Lewis Hamilton has carried over his searing pace from last season and stormed to the front of the grid for the first race of the F1 season in Melbourne.
Last season the rookie fell away in the last few races to hand Raikkonen the title. But Hamilton has already made his intentions clear for 2008 by claiming pole position in Australia.
It was not such a good qualifying session for the 'Iceman' who after problems with his Ferrari will start the race from 16th.
This gives Hamilton the ideal opportunity to score some points over the driver who is sure to be his closest rival for the championship.
The rest of the competition is fairly evenly matched and it should mean the points are shared around, allowing Hamilton and Raikkonen to go head to head for the title.
Alonso is not in a good enough car anymore, but if you want an outside bet for a driver then you could pick either of BMW's drivers, Kubica or Heidfeld.
