Lights Out: Vettel wipes the smile off Hamilton's face

Sebastian Vettel vowed that he and Kimi Raikkonen would be the ones in party mode come Sunday at the Australian Grand Prix and Ferrari backed him up to snatch a victory from Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes. It's lights out for Monday morning!

MUST READ

The 2018 season started just as the 2017 one did, with Ferrari strategy outfoxing the front-running pace of Mercedes to sneak a win in the pits.

Victory came with a statistical milestone for Vettel, that and a few other nuggets you might have missed are here.

Did the halo play a role in helping Vettel win in Melbourne?

Daniel Ricciardo was not able to secure the home podium he was after, but the Red Bull man might have strengthened his hand in the contract negotiations he has coming up.

The other Red Bull was in a spin as Max Verstappen endured a frustrating race. Early damage limited his chances, he later revealed.

Fernando Alonso was awarded driver of the day for his fifth-place finish. The McLaren is not the sitting duck it used to be anymore and Alonso is sure the only way is up.
