F1 Australia, the Qualifying report
When it matters most, Max Verstappen is always there. It is the characteristic of champions, who emerge in times of need and land the shot that stuns the competition: the Dutchman succeeded in qualifying in Melbourne, snatching the fourth consecutive pole position (also considering 2023) and the third in three GPs of this season.
Alongside Verstappen (1:15.915) a great Carlos Sainz, still debilitated following the appendicitis operation which made him miss the appointment in Jeddah.
Lewis Hamilton sensationally eliminated from Q3, excluded by a Yuki Tsunoda who was still applauded on Saturday. The seven-time world champion lost precious time at the penultimate corner and was beaten by 59 thousandths in favor of his teammate George Russell: only in 2009 had he done worse.
