Live audio coverage of the Australian Grand Prix!

After the secrecy of winter testing, after the first small indications from free practice, the time has come to lay all the cards on the table!

The qualifying session set the initial trend: Lewis Hamilton remains unbeatable in the time-trial exercise. Defeated by Nico Rosberg in the quest for the last world title, the Englishman is beginning his revenge with this Pole Position start.

But behind, the threat is real! Already very comfortable during pre-season testing, Scuderia Ferrari managed to get ahead of a Silver Arrow on the starting grid. Sebastian Vettel squeezed in front of Valtteri Bottas at the very end of Q3. The replacement of you-know-who will have to keep up the pace to avoid being the target of the first criticisms.

Especially since the race simulations show a close battle between the Star firm and the Prancing Horse.

On an atypical circuit, who will claim the first victory of the season?

Behind the infernal quartet, completed by Kimi Räikkönen in fourth place, let’s not forget Max Verstappen’s Red Bull. Lagging until now, will the Winged Bull burst onto the scene? The young Dutchman will aim to lead his team, while waiting for the local favorite to catch up. Daniel Ricciardo will only start from 10th place, due to a trip into the gravel trap in Q3. But rest assured, Dan the Man can count on the fervor of his supporters, gathered in large numbers in the Albert Park stands.

Just in Verstappen’s slipstream, will Grosjean confirm his excellent position? The Frenchman will start from the same place he achieved here last year. But be careful, the midfield battle will be tough. Williams, Force India (with Esteban Ocon qualified 14th), and also Toro Rosso are in a position to score some points.

We will also keep an eye on the performances of the Renault team, buoyed by Nico Hülkenberg’s convincing twelfth place, the defector from Force India. But also the McLaren-Honda duo, whose main mission will be to complete the 58 laps of the race, after a turbulent winter.
