Oscar Piastri has won the Australian Grand Prix, coming out on top against Lando Norris in an all-McLaren battle for the victory.

Update: Hours after the chequered flag, three separate FIA stewards investigations were carried out after the technical delegate Jo Bauer discovered infringements on the two Ferraris of Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton, as well as on the Alpine of Pierre Gasly.

Leclerc’s car was found to be a kilogramme underweight, even with a replacement front wing following damage picked up during the race, while Lewis Hamilton’s plank was found to be excessively worn. Pierre Gasly’s Alpine was also found to be underweight.

The disqualification of the two Ferraris means the Scuderia go home empty-handed from the Grand Prix, and promotes Haas’ Esteban Ocon into fifth ahead of Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli in sixth, Williams’ Alex Albon in seventh, Haas’ Oliver Bearman in eighth, Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll in ninth, and Williams’ Carlos Sainz in 10th.

Original: Starting from pole position, the Australian driver controlled proceedings throughout the Chinese Grand Prix as he held the lead ahead of Norris and, later, Mercedes’ George Russell, who cleared Norris during the pitstops.

But Norris was quickly back ahead of Russell and set off in pursuit of his teammate – a pursuit that never really went anywhere as Piastri opened up a small lead through the pitstop sequence – such was the power of the undercut.

Norris encountered a worsening brake issue in the closing laps, threatening his second place, but he managed the issue to come home just ahead of Russell as McLaren claimed the 1-2 ahead of Mercedes’ lead performer.

Red Bull’s Max Verstappen had a largely anonymous race as he lost out to both Ferraris on the first lap to slip down to sixth, and left it late to start pumping in competitive laptimes to come back and finish fourth ahead of the two Ferraris.

This was helped by Charles Leclerc having some front wing damage that, while it didn’t appear to hamper his outright pace, did have an effect on his tyre life as he was powerless to defend against Verstappen in the closing laps.

Lewis Hamilton, who had struggled for pace against Leclerc throughout while being ahead of the Monegasque, attempted a two-stop strategy – a strategy that didn’t work out as he shook out in sixth following his second stop, and wasn’t able to claw back enough time to gain more positions.

Esteban Ocon was seventh for Haas, ahead of Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli, while Alex Albon – who led the race briefly after starting on the hard tyre for his first stint – was ninth for Williams. The final point place went to Haas’ Oliver Bearman.

The only retirement was Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso, who encountered an early brake issue that the team couldn’t rectify while in the race.
