F1 Results Today: Max Verstappen in NIGHTMARE session as scary crash brings out red flag in Australia

Lewis Hamilton Struggles in Australian Grand Prix Free Practice as Young Driver Suffers Dramatic Crash

The Australian Grand Prix free practice sessions got off to a dramatic start on Friday, with Lewis Hamilton being outpaced by his new teammate Charles Leclerc in both sessions. Meanwhile, Max Verstappen struggled to find his footing in his Red Bull, finishing fifth in FP1 and being beaten by both Racing Bulls in FP2.

However, the biggest news of the day came when young driver Ollie Bearman suffered a massive crash in his Haas, causing extensive damage that prevented him from completing a single timed lap in FP2. The incident occurred when Bearman lost control of his car and collided with the Albert Park barriers.

The session was red-flagged after just 20 minutes due to a separate incident involving drivers running wide and kicking up a large amount of gravel onto the racing surface. The delay lasted approximately five minutes, giving teams a brief pause to reassess their strategies.

While it’s difficult to draw definitive conclusions from Friday’s practice sessions, the pace displayed may be more indicative of the actual racing performance than the pre-season testing in Bahrain. Carlos Sainz, in particular, looked impressive in his Williams, showcasing the team’s surprising competitiveness.

As the weekend progresses, teams will be closely analyzing the data from Friday’s sessions to fine-tune their strategies and gain a competitive edge. With the Australian Grand Prix shaping up to be an exciting and unpredictable event, fans are eagerly anticipating the qualifying sessions and the main race.
