Red Bull’s Max Verstappen won a chaotic and controversial Australian Grand Prix that finished in some dramatic fashion.
The Red Bull driver led Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton and Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso, who was tagged into a spin at a restart with two laps to go and was dropped to the back, home to set the podium.
Under FIA regulations, the finishing positions were taken from the last restart, with the cars then having to complete a final lap behind the safety car.
To add to the controversy, Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz was given a five-second penalty for causing the decisive crash at the first corner by tagging Alonso’s car, dropping him from fourth to 12th and out of the points.
