Once again (as always) the season kicks off silently in Melbourne.

A number of changes in the season as expected. The same old STAR Sports menu comes up as a bit of a surprise.

Quick Predictions. Most of the top runners seem to be on a similar fuel level. Tyres will not have a great difference this season onwards. Its all on the car setup and the driver. Kimi and Ferrari look good. If the McLaren reliability issues continue, the race could slip away from Alonso. But it seems Alonso has brought some good fortune with him. Watch out for Felipe Massa. Honda seem to be struggling a little bit. The rookies will surely provide some entertainment and add some spice to the race. Super Aguri are up on pace this season. What will the old drivers in the new cars deliver on a 58 lap race. The 2007 season kicks off in style and its LIVE on Star Sports.

More comments to come soon on Qualifying
