Debate | Verstappen wins the race and earns second Grand Slam this season

In Bahrain and in Saudi Arabia, Max Verstappen already managed to win the race. The Red Bull driver can add to that in the Australian Grand Prix on Sunday in Melbourne, but of course he has to finish first. The verdict is as follows: Verstappen wins the race in Melbourne and takes a Grand Slam.

A Grand Slam in Formula 1 is the phenomenon where a driver takes pole position, sets the fastest race lap, continuously leads during every lap and wins the race. This season, Verstappen completed a Grand Slam on the opening weekend of the new season. In Saudi Arabia, the reigning world champion took pole and finished first, but Charles Leclerc drove the fastest race lap.

One time yes and one time no, in other words. At the Albert Park Street Circuit, Verstappen managed pole position, and will therefore start the race from P1. The 26-year-old driver has Carlos Sainz and Lando Norris behind him on the grid. Can Verstappen win a Grand Slam in Australia? Vote in the poll below, and let your opinion be known in the comments!
