McLaren’s Lando Norris swept to victory in a moist and wild Australian Grand Prix on Sunday, holding off defending champion Max Verstappen in a white-knuckle end to a Formulation One season-opener affected by crashes and security automobiles.
Mercedes’ George Russell was third on the slippery Albert Park circuit, the place solely 14 of the 20 automobiles completed within the treacherous situations.
Norris, the preseason favourite for the drivers’ title, began the Formulation One season as he completed the final at Abu Dhabi, with victory from pole.
