F1: Finish Australia’s GP was the great challenge

The race that opened the 2025 exercise was an odyssey for the rain and six dropouts were charged, with Isack Hadjar that did not even start. Jack Doohan, Carlos Sainz, Fernando Alonso, Gabriel Bortoleto and Liam Lawson completed the list.

Isack Hadjar will never forget the 2025 Australian GP. The Frenchman was chosen by the Red Bull popes to sit as Yuki tsunoda partner in Racing Bulls for the 76th season. Its premiere was going to be in Melbourne and that “went” responds to … He didn’t start! And it was not for a technical problem in its VCarb 02, the Frenchman lost control of his car in the previous return and ended against the wall. The Parisian was the first victim of a very complicated track for the rain and led to what Only 14 cars will end up classified in the competition, the lowest number from the San Pablo GP of 2023, in which 14 had also ended.

In the first round no more were given. Jack Doohan stepped on one of the white lines that abound in the semi -permanent Albert Park, skated and destroyed his alpine against the wall. Further? Yes, because Carlos Sainz lost his Williams behind the security car and another against the wall. “It was not a problem, but a combination of factors. I don’t want to go into details because it is not worth it. We could see it in the data and we know what happened exactly and what has caused the situation. It is not the way you want to start the year, ”said the Spanish.

Fernando Alonso joined the 32nd Giro to the list of abandonments. The two -time champion lost his Aston Martin and, yes, to the wall. “The incident came from nothing, to be honest. It was a surprise to lose the car, I did not leave longer than in any other round, I only found a lot of gravel in the middle of the circuit and ended in a spin. A very expensive incident, ”said the Asturian. “One of those races that you do not enjoy a lot at the wheel because the white lines are ice, visibility is little … but it is the same for everyone,” he added.

And two more abandonments were still missing. First was Gabriel Bortoleto, on the 45th round. More of the same, he lost his Sauber and the wall. And a turn later, it was Liam Lawson, who closed a premiere to oblivion with Red Bull when leaving his RB21 against the containment barriers. Australia 2025 became the first date of a season with the least amount of cars arriving at the flag of paintings from Austria 2020, the World Cup in Pandemia, in which 13 arrived.
