Aussie rookies shine in wet race previews as reigning champion Verstappen struggles in 2025 F1 season opener.

In Short

The 2025 Formula 1 season began with strong performances from Australian drivers, particularly Oscar Piastri, while reigning champion Max Verstappen struggled. Rain is expected on race day, intensifying the competitive midfield as teams prepare for potential challenges.

The 2025 Formula 1 season kicked off with promising performances from Australian drivers, but reigning champion Max Verstappen struggled. In second practice, Oscar Piastri finished second, ahead of teammate Lando Norris but behind Charles Leclerc from Ferrari.

Rain is expected on race day, and teams are challenged by contrasting qualifying conditions. Norris had the fastest time in FP1 but shifted to a more downforce-heavy setup for FP2 to prepare for the wet conditions.

Rookie Jack Doohan showed potential by outperforming veteran teammate Pierre Gasly in both practice sessions. Other drivers like Yuki Tsunoda and Isack Hadjar also made strong showings, while Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon showed promise for Williams.

Verstappen finished seventh in FP2, just ahead of Nico Hulkenberg and expressed the need for improvement. His new teammate Liam Lawson acknowledged the slow pace during their runs.

In Mercedes, George Russell reported similar issues with soft tires. Lewis Hamilton, now with Ferrari, is still adjusting to his new car, lagging behind Leclerc.

As the weekend progresses, the Australian fans hope for a strong showing from Piastri, viewed as a potential podium contender. The competitive nature of the midfield was evident, with several teams showcasing the possibility of breaking into the top ranks. Practice 3 and qualifying are set to occur before the race, with significant implications for the teams.

Australia shuts millions of teen social media accounts

Australia’s social media ban leads to 4.7 million teen account closures, prompting debate over online safety and freedom.

Nearly five million social media accounts belonging to Australian teenagers have been closed since the nation’s social media ban began in December. Platforms such as Instagram and TikTok were responsible for removing around 4.7 million accounts held by minors, according to the eSafety Commissioner.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese described the figures as encouraging, highlighting the government’s commitment to protecting children online. The new law holds social media companies accountable, with fines imposed on platforms that fail to prevent underage accounts from being created or maintained.

Despite these measures, some teenagers have reportedly bypassed the restrictions by falsifying their ages or using parental information. The debate continues over the effectiveness of these regulations and the balance between safety and online freedom.
