McLaren’s Lando Norris leads the season-opening Australian Grand Prix at Albert Park, Melbourne.

Norris started on pole, although the safety car was soon out under the wet and windy conditions with both Jack Doohan (Alpine) and Carlos Sainz (Williams) crashing out on the opening lap.

Racing Bull rookie Isack Hadjar also spun out on the formation lap before the race, ahead of an aborted start.
