Finally – it’s race day! It’s been a long winter break, but we are back in Albert Park and ready to go racing.

I was super happy to see both Williams make it to Q3 in quali yesterday and I hope they can start the season off strong with some points. With this being the last year of the current regulations, I can’t quite call what I think is going to happen today – plus we have five rookies and rain on the radar, which is a recipe for chaos – but I’ve got a feeling it will be Max crossing the finish line first today. He is a monster in the wet; just look at him in Brazil last year. I don’t think he shows any sign of slowing down, either. The Tifosa in me would also love to see Lewis score a podium in his Ferrari debut… but we’ll have to see what happens.

No matter what, I think we are in for a banger. See you all on the other side!
