Formula 1 got something of a pressure release moment with Ferrari's Carlos Sainz brilliantly winning the 2024 Australian Grand Prix and ending Max Verstappen's latest dominant season start for Red Bull.
The world champion was undone by a rare mechanical issue aboard one of Red Bull's cars and Sainz picked up the pieces fantastically for Ferrari, on a day where it may have won in any case, such was its treatment of the tyres on a tricky surface and layout in typically tough conditions here. That said, there was little action to speak of all race.
