Nico Hulkenberg was blown away by the way Yuki Tsunoda made up several places during the third and final standing start of the Australian Grand Prix.
The Melbourne race was littered with incidents and several crashes – evidenced by the fact only 12 of the 20 drivers finished. Four of those eight who retired did so after that last standing start on the penultimate lap of the race, before the red flags were waved for the third time.
Fernando Alonso had been spun by fellow Spaniard Carlos Sainz, though he was able to carry on. Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon were not so lucky as the Alpine drivers crashed into each other, while Logan Sargeant and Nyck de Vries were beached in the gravel after the American hit the back of his fellow Formula 1 rookie.
