2025 F1 Australian GP Qualifying by Peter Windsor
2,699It's an all McLaren-Mercedes front row in Melbourne, with Lando Norris on the pole, alongside his young Australian team-mate, Oscar Piastri; and Red Bull-Honda's Max Verstappen starts P3, ahead of Mercedes' George Russell. Thoughts of a straightforward Sunday should be quickly dismissed, however, with the prediction of heavy rain on race day. Peter in this video looks ahead to the potential drama and details the various key elements - including a relatively disappointing day for Ferrari - that comprised qualifying.
NOTE; This video can also be played with Italian and Spanish audio tracks.

Dexter Windsor was adopted as a puppy from the brilliant Álora Dogs Home in Malaga, Spain. Many of Álora's kennels were destroyed in recent storms, however, so this is a shout-out to anyone who might be able to adopt or sponsor one of our unsheltered friends - or who could perhaps help the repairs there with a small donation. Thanks, as always.
