At the end of qualifying for the
Australian Grand Prix, the duels between them provided few surprises.
Max Verstappen,
Charles Leclerc and
Lewis Hamilton were all faster than their teammate. Some drivers, for the time being, hold a zero score against their teammate.
Carlos Sainz was well underway in Melbourne, but could not continue that line into the final part of qualifying. As a result, the Spaniard once again had to lose out to teammate Leclerc, who has been faster in all qualifications so far.
The same goes for
Lando Norris, who has outpaced
Daniel Ricciardo three times already.
Pierre Gasly,
Valtteri Bottas and
Alexander Albon have also qualified ahead of their teammate every weekend so far. Albon will have to leave
Nicholas Latifi ahead at the start, however, as he was dropped from the results for failing to provide a fuel sample.
