The first race of the season is over, and it was pretty good I’d say, not much overtaking but there’s usually not much in Australia anyway.

What a race that was! For almost the entire race you couldn’t be sure who would finish on the podium. Much like in Silverstone the two Mercedes locked out the front row and then lost it by turn one, this time with the two Ferraris prancing ahead of the Silver Arrows.
