Alex Albon managed to drive on his starting hard compound for the entire race. He went to pit in the last lap to do the mandatory compound change. This strategy amazingly worked as Williams managed to score its first point in this season. What Williams was thinking with its quirky Melbourne strategy
Max Verstapppen had to retire after some hydraulic issues. In the first three races he managed to win one and had to retire in 2nd place in the other two. Horner would ‘rather fix a fast car than make a slow one fast’
