Race Highlights | 2024 Australian Grand Prix

and formula one is underway in Melbourne

good reaction time at the front of the

field for Carlos SS but he's pass his

blocked by Max V stappen who has the

lead Norris maintains third for stappen

signs and then it is Lando Norris a

clean route through for all of those in

the field it'll be 19 now that Joe guu

joins the race it's for Stafford with

the getaway that he needed then it signs

Norris lir State ahead of piastri it's

getting very very tight between Perez

and George Russell and it's Russell who

finds his way to hang on to the place he

moves up to sixth position Perez down to

seventh it's as you were ahead here we

go the best chance to get past his old

teammate these two started life in

Formula One together at to Roso and

they're about to go will to whe you're

watching a Ferrari take the lead of the

Grand Prix Carlos SS first opportunity

offered up first opportunity taken and

the man who didn't race in the last

round leads in round three

this smoke and is smoke out of the back

of the slappers car for the first time

in two years reliability could be a

question can't you believe what we're

seeing the man who has finished every

Grand Prix since he retired from this

one in

2022 has smoked from the rear of the car

max V stappen has an issue he's still

very close to the lead of the Grand Prix

but he might not have a tire left at the

end of it where's that smoke coming

coming from it's like is it something on

the on the rear right it's gone it's

gone the man who is trying to win 10

Grand Prix in a row for the second time

in his Formula 1 career will not

continue the run a fire at the back of

the car the dreams of Victory gone uh

smoke smoke fire

fire he has had Formula 1 set to easy

weak in weak out but he will not see the

flag he's retiring from the Australian

Grand Prix and in Melbourne it's game on

to win the Australian Grand Prix and the

world championship leader chasing title

number four the first retirement against

all expectations and his 43 race

finishing streak in Formula 1 comes to a

fire

end yeah I've had engine failure oh okay

engine failure engine failure

Hamilton out of the race our second

retirement of the day it's V stappen and

now it's Hamilton and Mercedes have had

a few worries about the power unit this

time it's taken out their seven time

world champion

driver the virtual safety car is now

deployed that was always coming and

everyone reduces their Pace if you pit

under the virtual safety car you save

yourself about 7 seconds but look at the

way Hamilton's parked as he gets out of

the car that'll take just seconds to

push behind the wall well there goes the

uh engine in quite a severe way sudden

cut for Hamilton second retirement and

alono if he can scramble to the pit Lane

will save himself 6 and a half 7 Seconds

of pit stop time alono looking for that

benefit it is a Ferrari one two on track

then piastri and Lando Norris look at

how much it pays you back if you pit

under the virtual safety car Fernando

Alonzo says thank you very much you get

rid of that virtual safety car now chaps

we're ready to go racing

again we look at the live speeds of

Russell and Perez building up through

the gears heading to 190 mph and heading

to an overtake if Perez can just get

close enough does he have enough road to

sweep around the outside there is your

answer he did it in the final meters of

the corner but he got the move done

Russell does he launch one to the inside

can he launch one to the Side by way of

response the answer is no Perez P6 and

that's another pass for him he will go

chasing Fernando Alonzo we know that in

the final stages of this run that

Fernando Alonzo will not have the speed

of Perez in fact Alonzo darting out of

the way doesn't want to get mixed up in

the Mexican drivers race and now that is

fifth position for Perez who has a bit

of clear air he going to try and do

something about the four in front of him

there's the call this is not going to be

popular amongst the Aussie is but he's

going to pull over and Norris will sweep

through for third piastri playing the

team game Norris is on tires that are

five laps younger than Oscar

piastri Char Clair covering off the two

quick drivers behind going to be tight

Perez Alonso chasing 2.1 seconds thought

was so important this is going to give

an opportunity now to Fernando Alonzo

the three of them together and Alonzo's

got a great opportunity which way does

he go lir maintains just maintain his

track position and Alonzo despite

soaring to the left to the right can't

find his way past Perez and that was

closer than Ferrari would have wanted

when you see V stappen go out of the

race you know there's a point on offer

for teams who need to take their chance

and Alex Alin running as close as he

dead to the back of the house but not on

the side of the racetrack that he needed

to be and hulkenberg Scamp is clear all

the while this goes on sonoda with RB's

most important Pit Stop of the year so

far and he's back out ahead of both

they're so dangerous

moving this is how Oscar piastri was

able to take the position on the outside

and then shown part of the racetrack he

hasn't seen before then given room by

Fernando alono this is p gazley in Yuki

sonoda BBB move and taking the place

away from his old teammate and good

friend just out of the points these two

Kevin Magnuson thinking about the move

to the

inside my

word oh he's thinking about him from

Miles back he is all over the back of

the

Williams it's going to be quick again

it's going to be very fast this time

around the outside to take the place

Kevin Magnuson gets the move done oh big

crash George Russell with a massive

accident at the end of the Grand Prix at

turn number six and that will end the

race as a contest the virtual safety car

is out George Russell was battling over

sixth place and this is how it came

undone he got so close to Fernando on

the way into the corner it was just

simple dirty air for Russell and just

simply didn't have the air flow over his

car lost a load of down Force turned in

and had a major over steer all the way

to the barriers what a performance what

a comeback a Ferrari one two

headed by Carlos signs who wins the

Australian Grand Prix yes we have it P1
