Ferrari put up a great challenge to Red Bull Racing as they clocked the best timings during the first day of the test rides. Sainz made his return to the circuit but it was Leclerc who made the headlines being the fastest of all. Still, the Dutchman Max Verstappen managed to pull out the impossible and grabbed the pole position in the Australian Grand Prix 2024.

He will enter Sundayā€™s Australian Grand Prix chasing a record-equalling 10th consecutive victory. Yet his drive on the day looked shaky. The Formula One world champion hasnā€™t been entirely at ease so far this weekend. It took until the final stage of qualifying at Albert Park for Verstappen to hit his stride as he beat Ferrariā€™s Carlos Sainz to pole position by nearly three-tenths of a second.

A drama saw Perez drop three positions as he was penalized for interfering with Nico Hulkenberg, allowing Norris and Piastri to move up to the second grid. During the practice sessions, Verstappen and even other drivers found heat taking the tole, which means a two-stop race is expected, with the soft tyre unlikely to be used unless badly needed. The hard tyres are so valuable to teams that none have used either of their two sets per driver, leaving question marks over how they will hold up on the race day.
