Paris: Kimi Raikkonen continues to be an enigma. The 2007 world champion had a forgettable qualifying in Melbourne on Saturday as he could only manage an embarrassing 17th place on the starting grid for the season-opening Australian Grand Prix. The reason it was embarrassing was because his teammate - and near rookie - Romain Grosjean produced an outstanding performance to clinch third place, trailing the two McLarens by just 0.4...

Melbourne: Sebastian Vettel reflected a widespread caution over predicting the outcome of the Formula One season on Thursday but at least the world champion was prepared to share his season goal, however unsurprising it was. Driver after driver at the season-opening Australian Grand Prix expressed the opinion that winter testing had been inconclusive and only in Saturday's qualifying, perhaps even in Sunday's race, would the true pace of the cars...

Melbourne: On the eve of his first Formula One practice session in three years, Kimi Raikkonen was typically underwhelmed on Thursday, saying he rarely bothered to watch the sport during his absence.

Most drivers would be excited...

Melbourne: The start of any new Formula One season is uncertain enough for teams and drivers without the addition of wet weather, which is expected for this year's opening Australian Grand Prix. The forecast for Melbourne is for rain and possible thunderstorms from Friday through to race day on Sunday, which will render much of the best-laid pre-season preparations and learned predictions irrelevant. Throw in the always-slippery Melbourne street circuit,...
