Lewis Hamilton qualified third for Sunday’s Australian Grand Prix and the seven-time world champion described the result as a “dream” for him and his Mercedes team
. The Englishman did not win a race last season as Mercedes experienced a torrid 2022, the team’s run of eight successive constructors’ titles coming to an end as Red Bull took the title. Two races into the new season and Mercedes appeared set for another arduous campaign as Red Bull made a flying start, winning in both Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. Hamilton qualified in seventh for the two races of the season so his surprise at starting third on the grid for Sunday’s GP was understandable.
“George did a fantastic job today, so for us to be up in the two front rows is honestly a dream for us,” Hamilton added. “We are all working as hard as we can to be back right at the front, so to be this close to Red Bull is honestly incredible. “I hope tomorrow we can give them a bit of a run for their money, and we hope the weather is good.
