Red Bull had expected to get 'trounced' at the Australian Grand Prix on Sunday, so Max Verstappen's podium finish was a 'dream start' for the new partnership with Honda engines, team principal Christian Horner said. The young Dutchman Verstappen finished third behind...

"To put Lewis under pressure for pretty much 50 per cent of the grand prix, it looked like we had a quicker car than him certainly in the second half."We've got a good basis from which to start and really develop this car."

Verstappen's third placing secured Honda their first F1 podium since 2008, following difficult years as a supplier for McLaren in which their power units were pilloried for being unreliable and inefficient."Yamamoto-san was in tears at the podium," he said. "It's their first podium since Rubens Barrichello in 2008 and they've had a tough time in the last few years, so great for them, great motivation for them and the whole of our team.Toro Rosso graduate Pierre Gasly, promoted to replace Daniel Ricciardo, battled to finish 11th after starting 17th on the grid.

The Frenchman was prevented from earning points by 10th-placed Toro Rosso driver Daniil Kvyat. Kvyat was the man he ended up replacing at the Red Bull feeder team during the 2017 season. Horner said Gasly had driven well after his poor qualifying effort on Saturday and felt Red Bull could look ahead to the next stop in Bahrain with renewed confidence if not certainty."Melbourne is a bit unique. We all came here expecting to be trounced by Ferrari and Mercedes obviously were very strong yesterday.
