Crash.net F1 journalist Connor McDonagh runs through the field's driver ratings following the Australian Grand Prix.

Without his late mechanical failure, Verstappen would have finished second but overall, it wasn’t the smoothest of weekends for the reigning world champion. The four-time world champion’s F1 return couldn’t have been any worse after crashing in final practice before doing the same in the race. He did the same on race day, flat-spotting his front-left tyre which allowed Leclerc to open up a sizeable gap at the front. Another terrible weekend for Latifi. The Williams driver was unfortunate to collide with Stroll in qualifying but both drivers could have done more to avoid the incident. The Japanese rookie was behind his teammate under the Safety Car but struggled in the closing laps, finishing 15th. Like Alonso, Magnussen opted to start on the hards so the mid-race Safety Car came at the worst possible time. Schumacher ran 13th in the early stages where he ultimately finished. (Qualified 15th, finished 13th) (Qualified 14th, finished 11th) The Finn’s impressive 103-race record of progressing into Q3 finally came to an end but he worked his way back into the points. The Mexican made the most of Red Bull’s superior straight-line speed to get back ahead of Hamilton and then Russell following the Safety Car period. (Qualified 1st, finished 1st)
