FORMULA 1 LOUIS VUITTON AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX 2025
"Must be the water"
??
That’s awesome italian communication. I love it 😂
Best part of the race so far.
😆
Lewis is familiarizing himself with Ferrari strategies - "big opportunity missed there.."
I swear the more chaotic a race gets, the more powerful Stroll becomes.
He himself is chaos and so he's in perfect harmony with his surroundings.
Noooo Oscar
Such a pity :/
Lawson crash. Bortoletto out. Antonelli and Bearman are the only rookies left.
Surprised this Alonso fella hung in there for so long - not easy being a rookie in conditions like these.
That shot of the two McLarens sliding left and right while Max just drives through on the road lol
Really nice to see Anthony Hamilton console Hadjar. Sweet gesture.
An unfortunate incident, but he'll learn.
Anthony Hamilton is a 5 star human being
Alonso crashes. Another rookie out..
Haas has a different weather app for sure
Haas has a weather app?
The "under investigation" exclamation points next to the driver times are back! ❗
Ferrari really set out to harass their drivers today
Ferrari really set out to harass their drivers today the last decade
Oof, three cars out already
Doohan 😭
Rookie massacre out there.
Sainz too omg????
Bloodbath for the rookies
Press the button Hamilton...
This might get a bit spicy. Probably not the conditions the rookies dreamt of, for their debut race.
Poor Hadjar
Omg
There goes VCARB's celebrations about him having the best quali out of all the rookies.
Poor Doohan

Isack Hadjar has entered the chat
Jack Doohan just joined.
Poor Lawson
Poor Bortoleto
Poor Alonso
If the rain hadn't hit the track it could have worked out for ferrari - to be fair Lewis was on the bad end of some bad Merc calls last season so hes probably used to it.
Looks like Ferrari and Redbull have a bit of catup to do. Antonelli did well.
Lewis getting lots of unwanted info from the pitwall was gold. I didn't get a sense of how the Mercs were doing. Will get to see if they are as mercurial as last year I guess.
Verstappen didn't box to be opposite to Norris
Another rookie out 😭
Kinda miss Will Buxton for the grid walk.
Glad Coulthard is still around for commentary
Wow that was exciting at the end
Actual rain again? Gonna be wild
Fernando, the chad he is, taking his hands off the wheel when crashing.
So many drivers don't do that, and we saw with Ricciardo how it can end..
Reflecting on the incident, having returned to the paddock on Friday night with his arm in a cast after a check-up in the local hospital, Ricciardo commented: “I remember coming into Turn 3. I had already gotten into the corner and then saw Piastri, so it was either hit him or the wall.
“When I hit the wall, I didn’t have enough time to take my hands off the steering wheel, so the wheel came and hit my hand.”
Yes I know that, his case was special, but in other cases not taking your hands off can easily end with broken fingers like Ricciardo
Charles LMAO
Loud applause from the Aussies here as well for Oscar's move
DRS enabled!? Wow! Now I’m curious with only one somehow usable driving line
DRAMA 😱
What an interesting sprint race we get at the end!
Ooof! Alonso is out
"Hold position until you clear the backmarkers" is actually a fair demand imo
Since I'm out of the country, I'm stuck with watching Sky. Their obsession with Hamilton is truely fascinating
That top-down drone (?) shot of the kerb is 🔥🔥🔥
Place your bets: who will be out next on dry tyres on a semi-dry track?
Oh no Yuki and Alonso have what I call a "Perez investigation"
I wonder how Ocon's feeling racing against all the rookies there, now that Hulk is in front of that whole pack
