During the final practice session for the Australian Grand Prix, Oscar Piastri emerged as the leader, closely followed by George Russell and Max Verstappen. However, it was a challenging day for rookie Oliver Bearman, who suffered multiple off-track incidents, including a spin that brought out the red flag in FP3. Charles Leclerc of Ferrari also made headlines, setting the fastest times in both FP1 and FP2, while his teammate Lewis Hamilton struggled, finishing fifth in several sessions. McLaren showed strong performance, with speculation growing that they could be favorites for the race. As teams analyze data following the practice sessions, questions arise over the pecking order and the current form of the drivers ahead of the main event.
