Australian Grand Prix: preview

Carlos Sainz is looking like Max Verstappen’s primary threat at the Albert Park Circuit today, despite having only just returned from an appendectomy. The Spaniard and the reigning champion have been nip and tuck all weekend, but Verstappen found that little bit extra to take pole for the Australian Grand Prix.

Sergio Perez went third fastest, though he’ll start from the sixth slot on the grid as punishment for derailing Nico Hulkenberg’s Qualifying session. Lando Norris, Charles Leclerc and Oscar Piastri have been bumped up as a result.

How much must Ferrari be questioning their Lewis Hamilton deal? Having been beaten by debutant Oliver Bearman last time out, he could only go 11th fastest in Melbourne, making this the third time in a row that he’s been outqualified by teammate George Russell – who also beat him in this season’s two previous races.

And the situation with Daniel Ricciardo isn’t any better. The Aussie was given a seat at the expense of Liam Lawson because of his reputation rather than his performances, and it’s not going well. Whereas Yuki Tsunoda secured the 8th slot on the grid, Ricciardo starts from 18th.

It's lights out at 4am GMT / 12am ET. Keep scrolling to find out where to watch free F1 live streams anywhere in the world for the Australian Grand Prix.
