Ferrari adds another incredible F1 victory to its portfolio.
There’s no doubt that Ferrari is one of the most preeminent names in the F1 universe. With decades of history in the exclusive sport and an unmistakable presence, Ferrari certainly has the propensity for placing high and winning big on the circuit. However, Formula 1 is a notoriously contentious, intense, and nail-biting racing challenge, and often, a Grand Prix can be anyone’s race. That’s why Ferrari’s victory is more than impressive at this year’s Australian Grand Prix, with a one-two finish seeing both Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc taking the top two positions.
On top of the amazement of the one-two finish, Sainz’s win is amazing as the race marked his return to the Formula 1 championship after unfortunately leaving the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix the day before the race due to an appendicitis diagnosis that required an appendectomy operation. He came back with a vengeance, not only winning the race but also the fan vote for “Driver of the Day.”
Finishing in second, Leclerc also delivered an incredible performance, setting the fastest lap time in the race, as well. The incredible finish that Ferrari delivered in Australia resulted in Scuderia Ferrari’s 86th one-two finish, and 244th victory, picking up the maximum possible 44 points thanks to Leclerc also setting the fastest lap. Looking forward, Scuderia Ferrari and the F1 championship move on to Japan, where the teams will duke it out again at Suzuka.
