The action kicked off in earnest at Albert Park on Friday, launching the 2025 Formula 1 season with a bang - especially for Haas' Ollie Bearman. McLaren’s Lando Norris topped FP1, but Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc stole the show in FP2.
Crashes, grip woes, and soft-tyre struggles shook the field, setting a wild tone Down Under, and we have the pictures to prove it.
