Max Verstappen wins messy Australian Grand Prix.
Max Verstappen won today's Formula 1 Grand Prix of Australia, but it was an afterthought in a disastrous race defined by crashes and the sport's uneven responses to them.
Then Alex Albon crashed from what would have been a strong sixth for Williams, bringing out a safety car. With the Red Bull clearly faster in an open track but both of their cars able to hold the lead over Verstappen in the opening laps, Mercedes decided to split their strategies by pitting just Russell from the lead and leaving Hamilton out with Verstappen.
Those top two would finish in that position, but another Hamilton vs. Verstappen race was far from the main story of a day ruled by chaos. That continued when George Russell's car caught fire from fourth on lap 18, leading to a virtual safety car. The real mess started much later, when Kevin Magnussen came to a stop on track with just 3 tires on lap 54 of 58.
And, of course, there was. Hamilton and Verstappen got away from the start clean, but turn 1 saw multiple multi-car crashes that would eventually take out both Alpines, leave Fernando Alonso spinning after contact with Carlos Sainz Jr, and briefly give Lance Stroll third before he blew the next corner. Another red flag came out immediately.
