McLaren have picked up where they left off in 2025, after Lando Norris secured the first race win of the Formula 1 season.

On a dry track McLaren looked to be miles ahead of their rivals, with a 16 second gap opening up between the two drivers and Max Verstappen at one stage of the race.

However, the wet weather threw the Australian GP into chaos as Piastri slipped onto the grass and tumbled down the order, as Verstappen clinched P2 and George Russell crept up onto the final step of the podium.

It was also a nightmare outing for Ferrari, who were not only behind their rivals on pace, but have also left Melbourne P7 in the constructors' championship and are now below Sauber after Nico Hulkenberg's points finish.
