In the 2025 Australian Grand Prix, McLaren’s Lando Norris triumphed under challenging wet conditions, narrowly defeating Max Verstappen. George Russell secured third place, while only 14 out of 20 cars finished the race.
Lewis Hamilton, making his debut with Ferrari, faced a challenging race, finishing 10th. He expressed dissatisfaction with the team’s strategy during the mid-race rain shower, particularly their decision to pit him onto hard tires, which adversely affected his performance.
Post-race, the FIA summoned Hamilton and Ferrari for an investigation into their Australian Grand Prix performance.
Additionally, the FIA imposed pit lane start penalties on rookies Oliver Bearman (Haas) and Liam Lawson (Red Bull) due to unauthorized car modifications under parc fermé conditions.
The Formula 1 season continues with the Chinese Grand Prix next Sunday.
