Lewis Hamilton a fost cel mai rapid pilot in primele antrenamente libere contand pentru Marele Premiu al Australiei, britanicul oprind cronometrul la 1:25.801. Acesta a fost urmat de coechipierul Jenson Button (McLaren) si de Mark Webber (Red Bull).
Hamilton a dominat antrenamentele libere doi din Australia, acesta profitand din plin de ploaie. Fostul campion mondial a fost urmat de coechipierul Jenson Button (la +0.275), in timp ce Mark Webber a fost al treilea (+0.447).
