TREMAYNE: Did the Australian GP create fresh hope or just a false horizon for Mercedes and Ferrari?
Statistically, the Australian GP looked pretty good for Mercedes, with Lewis Hamilton finishing just 0.1s adrift of first-time Down Under winner Max Verstappen. A bit like the old times of 2021 before the Silver Arrows lost their mojo, if you just read the result on paper.
But, of course, the outcome of a chaotic race which was red flagged a record three times was skewed further when it ultimately ended behind the Safety Car.
