All-time great podium features the two-time defending champion, along with Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso.
Max Verstappen won the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix. That bit was expected. The rest? It was wild and whacky at the start and at the end.Max Verstappen claimed victory in the Australian Grand Prix to open up a 15-point championship lead over teammate Sergio Perez. He recovered to fifth place after starting from the pit lane.
Verstappen and Hamilton maintained their respective positions but behind them Sainz put third-placed Alonso into a spin at Turn 1, Lance Stroll inherited third but slid wide at Turn 3, the Alpine drivers collided with force and took each other out exiting Turn 2, Logan Sargeant rear-ended Nyck de Vries, while Sergio Perez also found the gravel.
Stroll was put back into fourth, in spite of sailing into the gravel, while it was a disaster for Alpine as Pierre Gasly, who was fifth before the Magnussen red flag, could not re-take his position due to terminally damaging his car in his clash with teammate Ocon. Charles Leclerc won two of the opening trio of races in 2022 and in the other finished runner-up. This year he has retired from two of the opening trio of races and in the other finished seventh.
Leclerc had an engine failure in Bahrain, the outcome of which left him relegated 10 places down the grid in Saudi Arabia, prior to his first-lap exit in Melbourne.
