It was a dream start for Lando Norris, as the young Formula One driver outdid defending champion Max Verstappen to win the 2025 Australian Grand Prix.
Verstappen came second, just ahead of third-placed George Russel.
After winning the race in Australia, Norris expressed what went through his mind during the race.
Norris reacted after winning the first Grand Prix of the 2025 season: “Tough race! Especially with Max behind me. I was pushing, especially the last two laps. A little bit stressful, I won’t like. But an amazing way to start the year. A tough one because we went off, went through the gravel, got damage, just tricky conditions but these ones are enjoyable, fun and unpredictable but this time we got it right and ended up on top.”
The victory is a massive boost for McLaren, who won the F1 season in 2008 last time. Ahead of the Chinese Grand Prix on March 23, it has given an edge to Norris and McLaren to keep the momentum going on a fine note.
Norris Amazed did start the race from the pole position, keeping Verstappen away from getting ahead. Until the very last round, Verstappen was chasing Norris very well. However, the English driver maintained the pace very well.
It is the fifth F1 (race) win for the 25-year-old.
