Leclerc domination usurps Hamilton and Verstappen | GPFans Special

Charles Leclerc dominated the Australian Grand Prix to extend his championship advantage after just three rounds of the F1 season. The Ferrari driver was rarely threatened at Melbourne's Albert Park on his way to a commanding victory, his second of the season and fourth of his F1 career. With Max Verstappen retiring for the second time in three races, George Russell has surprisingly jumped to second in the drivers' standings courtesy of his first Mercedes podium. Without further ado, here are the best stats and facts from Down Under.

Leclerc is a World Champion in the making .. that's from a Lewis supporter. He appears to have the measure of Max.s 'unique' driving style this season. I however hope, this season or next, Lewis can get number 8. While Mercedes struggle and RB have reliability problems he must take his opportunity.

He should have gotten his 8th last year already and announced his retirement, leaving the young guns to punch it out.

Massi cheated him out of that

Was still basically a boring race. The improvements made it no better for overtaking. Maybe if they kept the 4 th drs it could have been better. I still don't like the track.
