On the ground in Melbourne, Edd Straw is joined by Scott Mitchell-Malm and Mark Hughes to unpick the first race of the 2025 season in Australia.

They discuss how Lando Norris was able to make the race his, McLaren's apparent car advantage over the rest, the team orders call that impacted Oscar Piastri's race, and Max Verstappen's extremely solid run to second.

There's also analysis of Kimi Antonelli's debut for Mercedes, Ferrari's difficult weekend, Williams' strong pace, Sauber's shock points and more.

Plus, Edd, Scott and Mark answer a bumper crop of questions submitted by The Race Members' Club.
