Well… that was an upset alright?!
Max Verstappen, after 43 straight scoring finishes and 1,055 consecutive points scored, Verstappen failed to finish a race as a stuck brake on the grid ended his Australian GP early! And with it, it cleared the way for a Ferrari 1-2 finish as Carlos Sainz ends Max’s 9-race winning streak, again! We talk about all of that and the McLaren/Ferrari fight afterwards!
Also, Fernando Alonso copped a 20-second penalty for “aggravating circumstances” after his erratic driving into Turn 6 was what led to George Russell crashing into the fence on the final lap. Right call? Or another stewarding can of worms?
And finally, WIlliams had a dilemma of their own after Alex Albon wrecked his car so badly on Friday that they had to sacrifice Logan Sargeant’s car to allow Albon to continue. We break down the craziness of that decision and much on another Motorsport101!
