The Australian Grand Prix delivered a rollercoaster of emotions! Shocking retirements from key players left the field wide open, creating an enthralling race.
Here’s a breakdown of the winners and losers, according to Mail Sport’s Nathan Salt.
Winners
Carlos Sainz (9):
A remarkable comeback! After recovering from appendix surgery, Sainz triumphed in Melbourne.
While some might downplay his win due to Verstappen’s retirement, it’s a well-deserved victory that sends a strong message to other teams.
Lando Norris (8):
A brilliant drive from Norris, even though he couldn’t challenge the Ferraris.
McLaren’s strategic team orders for Oscar Piastri to let Norris pass, despite the crowd’s disapproval, proved effective, securing a podium finish.
Yuki Tsunoda (7):
A strong performance from Tsunoda shouldn’t go unnoticed.
He secured his first points of the season with an eighth-place finish.
Nico Hülkenberg & Kevin Magnussen (7):
Haas celebrates! Their ninth and tenth-place finishes mark their first double-points finish since 2022.
Losers
Max Verstappen (1):
A nightmare scenario for the championship leader.
His car caught fire within the first three laps, leaving him with nothing he could do.
Lewis Hamilton (2):
Another disappointing race for Hamilton.
Engine failure forced him out, leading to a feeling of another potential miserable season in his final year with Mercedes.
George Russell (4):
A frustrating end for Russell.
While on track for a seventh-place finish, a last-lap crash while pursuing Alonso caused outrage within Mercedes, who suspect Alonso of brake-testing Russell.
Stewards will be reviewing the incident.
Sergio Perez (5):
Given Verstappen’s absence and the superior Red Bull car, much more was expected of Perez.
His fifth-place finish shows that driver talent also plays a crucial role.
