However, the duo could not hold off Ferrari as both drivers were penalized with a five-place grid penalty.<\/p>\n<p>Hamilton could only manage a fifth place after a minor incident in the pits, while Kovalainen fared slightly better, finishing in third place behind world champion Kimi R\u00e4ikk\u00f6nen and Robert Kubica.<\/p>\n<p>\u00ab We don&#8217;t exactly know our pace at the moment, \u00bb stated Dennis.<\/p>\n<p>\u00ab We will know our level of competitiveness only after Barcelona on April 27. In Australia, Malaysia, and Bahrain, which will be the next race, the circuits are all very different, they do not reflect the true pace of the car. \u00bb<\/p>\n<p>Comparing his team&#8217;s dominance in Melbourne to the tighter fight in Malaysia, Dennis emphasized the importance of racing at the front of the field.<\/p>\n<p>\u00ab When you are in traffic, your tires do not use all the available potential, \u00bb he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u00ab Once the track was clear, we were able to see our real pace and that&#8217;s the main advantage of this Australian Grand Prix.<\/p>\n<p>Hamilton, leader of the championship, lost precious seconds due to an unfortunate small nut during his pit stop in the race.
