The start of the GP is one of the most important moments for the future of the race and knowing that overtaking at Albert Park is very complicated. So, a bad start took its toll on the rest of the turns. Verstappen defended the first position and despite doing well in the first meters, bad luck befell him won’t win a race for the first time since Singapore since last year.
There was an important type of wheel. Most of them left with average tires. But Alonso came out strong to extend a stint as long as the drivers want Hamilton went out on the softs to try to overtake. And precisely for this reason the British surpassed the Asturian in the first meters.
But the important thing came on lap 2. Verstappen was overtaken by Carlos Sainz in the DRS area while on the radio the Dutchman complained about the lack of stability. Then on lap 4 smoke was coming out of his right rear tire. The full drama came on the next lap with humo going further and with its brake wasak. First abandonment since Imola 2022.
As for the rest of the positions, everything remained very stable with a bad start for Pérez, who also did not recover places in Red Bull.
