George Russell's race in Melbourne may have ended with an engine failure, but that was not the only slice of bad luck that came the Brit's way during the Australian Grand Prix.
Things were looking so good for Russell. Despite the struggles Mercedes are enduring again at the start of this new Formula 1 season, he and Lewis Hamilton came up with cracking laps in qualifying to start second and third, behind only the defending champion.
Russell was sharing the front row with Max Verstappen, with two world titles to his name so far. Behind him was Hamilton with his seven championship successes, and Fernando Alonso – also a double title-winner earlier in his career.
