Formula One World Championship: Round Three

The Heineken Australian Grand Prix is the next leg on the 2022 Formula One World Championship. The Round Three race takes to the streets of Melbourne where drivers will compete on the 3.28 mile (5.27 km) Albert Park Circuit.

There have been a few changes to Melbourne Circuit since the last time F1 held an event in Australia (2019), including new asphalt and the reducing turns from 16 to 14.

Through two rounds, Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc is on top of the leaderboard with one win and two podium finishes (45 points), while teammate Carlos Sainz is in second with a podium finish in both Round 1 and 2 (33 points).

Red Bull racer Max Verstappen is in third with 25 points. Two Mercedes F1 drivers, George Russell and Lewis Hamilton, round out the Top 5 with 22 and 16 points.

During Friday’s practice, Ferrari had the fastest race simulation pace with Red Bull +0.01 in second and Mercedes +0.81 in third.
