After a wet and wild season-opening Australian Grand Prix, McLaren star Lando Norris has put down a marker as he seeks his first Formula 1 world championship.

Max Verstappen did put up a stern challenge in the slippery conditions, however, and was right on the Brit's gearbox on the final two laps of the race, chasing a late overtake for the win.

George Russell, Kimi Antonelli and Alex Albon rounded out the top five in Melbourne, whilst elsewhere, it was a nightmare start to the season for Ferrari and Lewis Hamilton on the seven-time champion's race debut in red.

With all of that said, let's take a look at the official FIA final classification from the Australian Grand Prix, with any post-race penalties applied.
