F1, Australian GP: Norris wins in sprint over Verstappen

Kimi Antonelli, debut to remember forever

The first, crazy F1 GP of the season, in Melbourne, è was won by Lando Norris who è managed to cross the finish line first, with Max Verstappen in the exhausts. Third place for an excellent George Russell in a Mercedes. Kimi Antonelli shines, who, on his debut, finished in the top 5 (second youngest driver to score points on his debut, behind only Max Verstappen).

Ferrari disappointment. Charles Leclerc closes with a modest eighth place while Lewis Hamilton, on his debut with the Cavallino, finishes tenth, overtaken, on the last lap, by Oscar Piastri, long second but betrayed by an off-track, rain-induced, which completely ruined his performance (ninth place).

So many moments of great difficulty were experienced by the drivers on the track. The rain affected the race, leading to many tire changes and countless crashes, even by experienced drivers such as, for example, Carlos Sainz and Fernando Alonso, both of whom hit the wall.

To be noted, on the formation lap, the error of rookie Isack Hadjar who è was forced to raise the white flag. The’other rookie Nick Doohan and veteran Carlos Sainz also went off the track in the very first laps of the GP. Next weekend everyone is back on track. On the schedule is the Chinese GP.
