Lando Norris Wins Chaotic Australian Grand Prix 2025 As Ferrari바카라™s Gamble Backfires
Lando Norris mastered the madness at the Australian Grand Prix on Sunday, March 16, at Albert Park Circuit, conquering wet and wild conditions to grab his first win of the 2025 season. Chaos erupted early as Oscar Piastri spun out, leaving Norris to fend off Max Verstappen, who had to settle for second, while George Russell rounded out the podium. Ferrari바카라™s strategy went up in smoke when they gambled on staying out despite the rain, Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc paid the price, finishing a disappointing ninth and tenth. The race was pure carnage, Fernando Alonso found the wall, Carlos Sainz바카라™s Williams debut ended in disaster, and rookies Jack Doohan and Isack Hadjar couldn바카라™t make it to the finish. Even Liam Lawson바카라™s Red Bull debut ended in heartbreak with a crash. But through it all, Norris stayed cool, capitalizing on every twist and turn to seal a stunning victory.
