What a great opening to the F1 season with today’s qualifying in Melbourne. The Papapya’s are in the front row. Too bad Piastri didn’t secure a pole for his home race. Verstappen taking 3rd position behind them is a surprise, as I expected Ferrari to be on the 2nd and 3rd rows of the grid. Williams did a good job today, and so did Gasly.
I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s race. I don’t think Verstappen can do anything to split Norris and Piastri at race pace unless we get some serious rainfall. McLaren still has the fastest cars on the grid.
