"Red Bull's Bad Day: Ferrari's Dominance and Fire at Australian Grand Prix"

Ferrari's Carlos Sainz won the Australian Grand Prix after Max Verstappen's Red Bull suffered a sticking rear brake caliper, leading to his retirement. Sainz's victory was attributed to the Ferrari's strong performance and handling of tyre graining challenges, as well as his own remarkable driving despite health issues leading up to the race. Sergio Perez's race to fifth place indicated Ferrari's competitiveness, while McLaren struggled to keep up with the leading Ferraris. The race was also marked by a dispiriting weekend for Mercedes, with George Russell's crash capping off their struggles.
