The records obtained during the two one-hour training sessions confirmed the current hierarchy in Formula 1. Carlos Science set the best time in Melbourne for the first session and Charles Lecklerk for the second session.
In addition to the Ferrari, the Red Bull had a strong impact on the Albert Park neighborhood, which was rebuilt in several places. World champion Max Verstappen 4th and 2nd, Sergio Perez 3rd and 5th World Championship leader Leklerk had his best time in the second hour of training, 2 tenths faster than Verstappen. In the first practice session, Monegas finished second behind his teammate Science.
Mercedes is not equal (yet)
Lewis Hamilton has yet to show any major improvement in the performance of the Mercedes team compared to the first two Grand Prix. The Englishman finished 7th and 13th.
Valteri Potas, who won the last race as a Mercedes driver in Melbourne 3 years ago, was 10th and 7th, while Chinese Zhao Guanyu was twice 15th in the second car of the Alfa Romeo team.
