Red Bull Racing’s Dutch driver Max Verstappen celebrates victory with the trophy on the podium after the 2023 Formula One Australian Grand Prix at the Albert Park Circuit in Melbourne on April 2, 2023. AFPPIX: Max Verstappen held off a revived Lewis Hamilton to steer his Red Bull to a chaotic win at the Australian Grand Prix on Sunday and tighten his grip on the world championship.
“We had a very poor start, lap one I was careful as I had a lot to lose,“ said Dutchman Verstappen, who won the season-opening race in Bahrain and came second in Jeddah a fortnight ago. Victory was Verstappen's maiden win in Melbourne and Red Bull's first in Australia since Sebastian Vettel's 2011 triumph.
“I didn’t expect to be second so I’m super grateful for it,“ said seven-time world champion Hamilton. “We had a rollercoaster of emotions today, many things going on at the beginning, and the last half an hour,“ said Spanish veteran Alonso. And they did just that with both scorching past a tentative Verstappen on the first corner before Leclerc spun at Turn 3 and the safety car came out.
