The 2019 Australian Grand Prix (formally known as the Formula 1 Rolex Australian Grand Prix 2019)[1] was a Formula One motor race that was held on 17 March 2019 in Melbourne, Victoria. The race was contested over fifty-eight laps of the Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit and was the first round of the 2019 FIA Formula One World Championship.[2] The race marked the eighty-third race in the combined history of the Australian Grand Prix—which dates back to the 100 Miles Road Race of 1928—the twenty-fourth time the event was held at the Albert Park circuit and the thirty-fifth time the Australian Grand Prix formed a part of the Formula One World Championship.[3]
Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel entered the round as the defending race winner.[4] Lewis Hamilton entered the round as the defending World Drivers' Champion and his team, Mercedes, are the defending World Constructors' Champions.[5]
Report
Background
The Australian Grand Prix was officially confirmed as the first of twenty-one races of the 2019 Formula One World Championship at an FIA World Motor Sport Council meeting in Paris in December 2018. The race is due to take place at the fifteen-turn, 5.303 km (3.295 mi) Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit in Melbourne, Victoria on 17 March 2019.[2] Melbourne's Federation Square hosted a season launch event, the first of its kind for the sport, in the week before the race.[6]
Race Director Charlie Whiting died of a pulmonary embolism in the week before the race.[7][8] Deputy Race Director Michael Masi was named as Whiting's temporary successor—with local officials appointed to fill Whiting's additional roles—until a long-term appointment could be made ahead of the Bahrain Grand Prix.[9]
Entry list
Twenty drivers representing ten teams entered the race. Alfa Romeo Racing made their return to the sport, replacing the Sauber F1 Team as part of a sponsorship deal that started in 2018.[10] Racing Point also made their début as an independent constructor, having acquired the assets of Sahara Force India team and having competed under the Force India name in 2018.[11] Alexander Albon, Lando Norris and George Russell all made their competitive débuts.[12][13][14] Meanwhile Antonio Giovinazzi, Robert Kubica and Daniil Kvyat all returned to the championship.[15][16][17]
Tyres
Tyre supplier Pirelli provided teams with an intermediate range of tyres for the race.[20] Under rules introduced in 2019, Pirelli changed the designations of their tyres to rate the hardness of the compounds, with "C1" being the hardest and "C5" the softest.[21] The colour-coding system used in previous years was simplified so that the white-coloured tyre wall represents the hardest compound available at any Grand Prix, a yellow tyre wall the medium compound and the red tyre wall the softest tyre.[22] Pirelli nominated the C2 tyre as the white-banded hard compound, C3 as the yellow-banded medium and C4 as the red-banded soft.[23]
Points system change
The race saw the introduction of a change to the points system. The system in use since 2010 will be retained, but drivers who set the fastest lap could be awarded a bonus point provided that they finish the race inside the top ten. The bonus point is also awarded to the constructor of the driver that set the fastest lap as well.[24]
Practice
Lewis Hamilton was fastest in all three practice sessions. The sessions ran uninterrupted save for an incident that saw Alexander Albon spinning out at turn 2 and hitting the wall during the first practice session. Albon was able to return to the pits for repairs.[25][26][27] In the third practice session McLaren released Lando Norris into the path of Robert Kubica which resulted in the Mclaren team receiving a fine.[28]
Qualifying
The first qualifying session passed without incident until the final couple of minutes when Robert Kubica hit the wall coming out of turn 10 giving him a puncture, he later attrbuted this to a sudden increase in grip.[29] The drivers knocked out in Q1 and finishing qualifying in sixteenth to twentieth respectively were Lance Stroll, Pierre Gasly, Carlos Sainz, George Russell and Robert Kubica with Charles Leclerc setting the fastest lap time of the session.[30] Gasly being knocked out came as a particular surprise and put his early exit down to unexpected track evolution.[31] Sainz was also disappointed with his early exit from qualifying, especially considering his team mate qualified in eighth, Sainz attributed his early exit to having to slow down after Kubica got a puncture in front of him forcing him to slow down on his qualifying lap.[32]
The second qualifying session passed without incident and resulted with Nico Hülkenberg, Daniel Ricciardo, Alexander Albon, Antonio Giovinazzi and Daniil Kvyat being knocked out and finishing quailing ranked eleventh to fifteenth respectively with Lewis Hamilton setting a qualifying lap record to end the session fastest.[30][33] The surprises came from the two Renault's of Ricciardo and Hülkenberg being knocked out after being considered as the fourth fastest team following pre season testing and from Lando Norris getting in to the top ten.[34][35][36]
For the third qualifying session all of the teams were able to have two attempts to set the fastest time, after the first run it was Valtteri Bottas who was leading having beaten the qualifying lap record which Hamilton had set in Q2, he was followed by Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel.[33] During the second attempt in Q3 Hamilton improved his time by half a second to beat Bottas' lap record.[33] As no one else improved their time sufficiently to beat any of top three it has Lewis Hamilton who took pole position followed by Valtteri Bottas and Sebastian Vettel completing the top three.[30] The top ten was completed by Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc, Romain Grosjean, Kevin Magnussen, Lando Norris, Kimi Räikkönen and Sergio Pérez. In his post qualifying interview Leclerc confessed that he wasn't happy with his performance in saying that he thought he was able to get into the top three but was unable to due to a untidy lap.[37] Meanwhile Haas said they were delighted with their performance getting their cars into sixth and seventh positions.[38]
Race
Valtteri Bottas started the race well from second place, and had the lead going into turn one. Further back, Daniel Ricciardo was contesting a position with Sergio Perez, in which Ricciardo miscalculated his distance from some grass near to the right side of the track, driving over it. Ricciardo's front wing dug into the grass and fell apart, spilling debris around that part of the track and causing him to drop to last as he drove round with no front wing before pitting for a replacement. Max Verstappen was passed by Charles Leclerc who then proceeded to battle his teammate Sebastian Vettel. Vettel kept Leclerc at bay in 5th where he was reovertaken by Verstappen. The Haas teammates Kevin Magnussen and Romain Grosjean exchanged positions. Robert Kubica came into the pits on lap 1 after sustaining front wing damage. On lap 11, Carlos Sainz pulled over in his McLaren at the entrance to the pits, with a large plume of smoke emerging from the rear of his car, which was followed by an onboard fire. Kimi Räikkönen pitted on lap 13 and Pierre Gasly struggled to make progress from P17, moving up only to P12 despite being in a significantly faster car than those in front of him. Nico Hulkenburg and Perez then pulled into the pits in search of an undercut, followed by Vettel who put on the medium tyres. Lewis Hamilton pitted a lap later onto the same tyre compound, and he emerged ahead of Vettel. Romain Grosjean then pitted but an issue on the front left tyre caused him to lose three positions during his pit stop. Vettel set the fastest lap on lap 18. Antonio Giovinazzi went wide on the approach to turn 13, allowing Kevin Magnussen to pass through. Bottas then set the fastest lap on lap 21 before pitting on lap 23. Verstappen followed suit three laps later. Lando Norris passed Giovinazzi the following lap. Charles Leclerc pitted from second place on lap 29. Daniel Ricciardo retired as a precaution following the lap 1 incident. Verstappen passed Vettel on lap 31. Grosjean pulled over on to the run off area on the penultimate corner, after his front left wheel came loose. Daniil Kvyat went wide trying to pass Lance Stroll at turn 3 on lap 38. Verstappen went wide at the same place eleven laps later. On lap 55, Verstappen set the fastest lap of the race as he gets closer to Lewis Hamilton in second. Bottas retook the fastest lap and won the Grand Prix by over 20 seconds to his teammate Hamilton. They were followed by Verstappen in third and the two Ferrari cars trailing in fourth and fifth. Bottas became the first driver to win a bonus point for the fastest lap of the race since Maurice Trintignant at the 1959 United States Grand Prix.
