Finally Formula One is back again . As usual Formula One season starts with Australian Grand Prix . What a comeback from Team Ferrari . Sebastian Vettel won the very first race of the season . Lewis Hamilton was the favorite to win the season opener but he finished in second position behind Sebastian Vettel . Sebastian Vettel's Ferrari team mate Kimi Räikkönen finished the race in third position behind Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton . Red Bull team were not far from them as they finished fourth and sixth with drivers Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen respectively . Fernando Alonso finished 5th with Mclaren honda car . N.hulkenberg 7th , V.Bottas 8th , S. Vandoome 9th and the tenth position was claimed by Carlos Sainz Jr.
This year the fight for the crown would be amongst Ferrari , Mercedes and Red Bull . I hope Fernando Alonso surprises us with a miracle from his Mclaren Honda .
Daniel Ricciardo could have become the first Australian driver to reach podium at AusGP.
Sebastian Vettel claimed the hundredth podium of his formula one career.
Carlos Sainz Jr although finished in tenth position , he was about to vomit during the race. As stated by him , he had issues with the water pump for the first ten to fifteen lap in which it squirted a lot of water which Carlos Sainz Jr consumed and was about to vomit . Fortunately he did not gave up and finished in the tenth position .
