Two cars failed to make it to the grid for the opening race of the season. The Audi of Nico Hulkenberg had issues on the way to the grid and local hero Oscar Piastri crashed his McLaren after a power spike turned him into the wall. Neither of the dominant Mercedes had good starts, and both Ferraris made good progress off the line. It led to a lot of back and forth overtaking between Charles Leclerc/George Russell and Lewis Hamilton/Kimi Antonelli over the first 10 laps. Then, on lap 11, after some good opening laps, Isack Hadjar's car lost drive and retired bringing out a virtual safety car. Mercedes chose to pit both of their cars while Ferrari left both of their cars out. That decision would prove decisive as George and Kimi went on to claim a 1-2 finish for Mercedes with Charles and Lewis in third and fourth for Ferrari. Reigning champion Lando Norris could only manage fifth ahead of Max Verstappen who made it to sixth from his 20th place start. They were the only six cars who finished on the lead lap. Oliver Bearman finished seventh for Haas and at 18 years old, rookie Arvid Lindblad became the youngest British driver to score points in F1. The top ten was completed by Pierre Gasly in ninth and Esteban Ocon in tenth. Cadillac had one of their cars make the finish with Sergio Perez in 16th - the last classified position three laps down. You can watch the race highlights here. Despite the varying outcomes, nearly all the drivers felt positive about the race. You can see their reactions here.
