Lewis Hamilton will take a familiar position at the front of the pack in tomorrow's race, so are we in for more of the same?
Until that stunning lap Ferrari and Red Bull had looked very close and both were close in the long runs during practice. And Hamilton has only once before turned pole into victory in Australia.
It's far from a foregone conclusion so join us to see how the first race of 2018 unfolds tomorrow morning at 04:30 BST.
Don't forget the clocks go forward!!
