Max Verstappen increased his lead at the top of the 2023 F1 Drivers' standings following a controversial Australian Grand Prix.

A day of mayhem ended under the safety car and with a track invasion after a race which included three red flags.

Verstappen eventually came home in front of a resurgent Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes following another dominant drive by the Dutchman in the mighty Red Bull RB19. He now leads team-mate Sergio Perez by 15 points despite the Mexican ending the day P5 following an excellent recovery drive from P20 on the grid.
