Mercedes kicked off the season with a terrific one-two on the podium as Valtteri Bottas claimed the victory in Australia.

He was followed by Sebastian Vettel and Red Bull star Max Verstappen.

Sebastian Vettel could only manage fourth place in the race with new Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc close behind in fifth.

Daniel Ricciardo will be hoping his second race is a smoother ride than his Renault debut.

The former Red Bull ace retired from the race due to his car overheating after sustaining damage in a first-lap bump into a ditch by the side of the track.
