F1 2023 Championship standings after Australian Grand Prix

It took three red flags, two Safety Car periods, one Virtual Safety Car and a lot of head-scratching, but Max Verstappen finally took victory in the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix.

A late wall strike for Kevin Magunssen on Lap 54 of 58, triggered the red flag for the second time for debris, leading to a two lap shootout.

This itself was abandoned after four cars were eliminated - including the Alpine duo of Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon.

After the rule book was consulted, the order from Lap 56 was reinstated as this was the last time the FIA could accurately judge the running order.

This meant Fernando Alonso was bumped back up to third while Carlos Sainz was demoted from fourth to 12th after a penalty as seven of the 10 teams picked up points.

Check out both the Drivers' and Constructors' standings below after the 2023 Australian Grand Prix.

Red Bull urged to 'go hard' to sign Norris by former F1 driver

Image
Red Bull should "go hard" in trying to land the services of Lando Norris in 2025, according to former F1 driver Karun Chandhok . Norris enjoyed a stellar season in 2022, scooping the only podium outside Red Bull, Ferrari or Mercedes with a third place at Imola, as well as going on to secure a strong seventh in the Drivers' standings. The Briton is locked into a long-term deal with McLaren – set to expire at the end of 2025 – and will step into the team leader role at Woking in 2023, with a new teammate in the form of rookie Oscar Piastri. Norris has been touted as a replacement for Lewis Hamilton when he retires from F1 at Mercedes, while Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko is a long-time admirer of Norris, having tried to get him into a Toro Rosso seat back in 2018.

F1 teams facing Imola rain without tyre warmers

F1 teams are facing the prospect of racing in the wet at this weekend's Emilia Romagna Grand Prix without tyre warmers . In a sustainability push, F1 's official tyre supplier Pirelli are introducing a new full Wet compound for the Imola race that is designed to avoid the use of electric tyre blankets. Torrential rain over the last few days has caused severe disruption in the Emilia Romagna region, with widespread flooding causing power outages and leading to road closures. Though the rain is said to ease up from Wednesday evening onwards, it is likely that the Grand Prix weekend will be run in wet conditions, which will test Pirelli's new compound to the limit. "Starting from this Grand Prix, a new compound of full Wet tyre will be introduced which will not require the use of tyre warmers beforehand," said Mario Isola, Pirelli's Motorsport Director. "Track tests have shown even better performance than the previous Cinturato Blue full we...

Verstappen on why street circuits have become 'the worst experience'

Image
Max Verstappen has detailed why he believes street circuits have become "the worst experience" and is against F1 prioritising new street circuit locations. The expansion of the F1 calendar has brought new venues onto the schedule, with street circuits in Miami and Saudi Arabia joining in recent years. The sport has faced a delicate challenge in implementing new circuit locations, with threats of losing classic F1 venues proving to be a hot topic among drivers and fans. Red Bull's Verstappen was asked which circuit he would like to permanently stay on the calendar and, when quizzed specifically about Monaco, the Dutchman expressed his dissatisfaction at driving on street circuits in 2022 F1 cars. "It is very tricky, especially in [Monaco] qualifying when you go to the limit, it's really tough to nail a lap," Verstappen told Viaplay . "I'm personally more about high-speed corners, for me Spa 100% [should never leave the calendar], becaus...
