Charles Leclerc holds a 12-point lead over Ferrari teammate Carlos Sainz in the Formula One Drivers’ Championship ahead of the Australian Grand Prix.

It has been a great start to the season for the Scuderia, who top both the drivers’ and constructors’ standings having put both of their men on the podium in each of the two races so far.

Max Verstappen trails in third but significantly cut his deficit in Saudi Arabia a fortnight ago.

Despite their difficult time of it in 2022, the Mercedes pair of George Russell and Lewis Hamilton complete the top five as they look to stay in touch with the leaders while waiting for significant upgrades to their car.
