Peter Windsor's Analysis of the 2026 Australian GP

Journalist and former F1 team manager Peter Windsor has given his analysis of the first race of the 2026 F1 season.

The 2026 Australian GP saw Mercedes take a 1-2 with George Russell leading Kimi Antonelli. Ferrari finished third and fourth with Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton.

Ferrari fought well early in the race, but Mercedes prevailed after taking advantage of an early VSC period to pit its two cars and make a one-stop strategy work easily.
