A chaotic Australian Grand Prix opened up the 2025 F1 campaign with dramatic strategy choices, rain and plenty of DNFs.
Lando Norris survived all of the mayhem to win the race, putting him at the top of the points table ahead of the season's second round next week in China. Max Verstappen chased down Norris late, but couldn't quite make the pass, settling for P2. George Russell completed the podium.
Six cars did not finish due to incident, including one before the race even officially began.
