We return to the Australian GP after a long 2 years wait. The 2022 Australian GP was the 3rd race in the season, and it is clear that Charles and Ferrari are in it for the championship. Flawless performance by Charles while Max’s car noped out again. The race down under was exciting with action all around the field. An awesome performance by Albon, who dragged the back marker Williams into their first point of the season.
