Here we go!

The new F1 season is finally here! After months of waiting – and major, MAJOR changes to the grid – we are back in Australia.

Lewis Hamilton’s mega move to Ferrari dominated the headlines while the action was away and plenty of eyes will be on the seven-time champion at Albert Park.

Hamilton didn’t enjoy the best qualifying session, however, and will start in eighth – one spot behind Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc.
