Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc dominated the 2022 Australian Grand Prix in pole position, with the 24-year-old bringing home a grand slam.
Leclerc also secured the fastest lap for the race, in an impressive and untouchable win. He now sits 37 points ahead on the top of the championship board.
“I think we were all surprised by our pace,”
“We managed the tyres extremely well … on the hard tyres we also seemed to have the upper hand. It was a very good surprise.”

Red Bull’s Sergio Perez secured second place on the podium and Mercedes George Russell claimed the third spot.
Both Perez and Russel performed impressively on the day.
Redbull’s world champion Max Verstappen was unfortunately shadowed by bad luck, retiring with engine failure.
The car was visibly overheating with smoke emerging from the engine, forcing Verstappen to retire in the 39th lap.

Australian favourite Daniel Ricciardo claimed 6th position for Mclaren, with his best performance at home since 2018.
Crowds were chanting “Ricciardo” all day long, with many happy to have his happy face back on home soil.
Record-breaking crowd
Over 400,000 attended the Grand Prix over the four days and nearly 130,000 people on race day.
This record attendance is the highest in Melbourne’s Grand Prix history.
Australia’s appetite for F1 action has built up over recent months, with some attributing the newfound interest to Netflix’s ‘Drive to Survive’ series.
The F1 show will head to Italy next for the Imola circuit, where Ferrari fans are bound to be out in droves to show their support.

Trump announces Greenland deal, easing tariff threats amid trade tensions, boosting US markets and sparking Arctic diplomacy debate.
U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a framework deal involving Greenland, stepping back from earlier threats to impose tariffs on Europe. The shift comes after heightened global concern over trade tensions and geopolitical stability.
The announcement followed Trump’s appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos and discussions with NATO’s Secretary General.
Denmark’s Foreign Minister has since weighed in, responding to speculation surrounding Greenland’s future and the implications of US involvement.
Markets reacted positively, with US stocks rallying after Trump signalled he would abandon the tariff threats.
While Trump reiterated he would not use force to acquire Greenland, the move has sparked renewed debate about diplomacy, trade, and influence in the Arctic region.

Coalition cracks deepen as Nationals break ranks over Labor reforms
Nationals senators defy party lines, voting against Labor’s reforms as Coalition faces internal rifts and leadership concerns.
Nationals senators defy party lines, voting against Labor’s reforms as Coalition faces internal rifts and leadership concerns.
A rift has emerged in the Coalition after three Nationals senators crossed the floor to vote against Labor’s post-Bondi hate group reforms, defying party lines and raising questions about their future in the shadow cabinet.
Their proposed amendment calling for greater scrutiny was rejected, and Labor’s legislation passed the Senate 38 votes to 22, cementing the reforms into law despite opposition pushback.
Coalition leadership will meet Wednesday to assess the political fallout, though some MPs consider the issue minor in terms of potential resignations. The incident highlights growing tensions within the party as internal discipline comes under pressure.
