Race review
Well, what a way to kick off 2026. George Russell's taken the spoils in Melbourne with a commanding performance, while young Kimi Antonelli's made himself known with a brilliant P2 — and Charles Leclerc rounds out the podium to keep Ferrari honest. The attrition gods were working overtime though. Piastri, Hadjar, Hulkenberg, Alonso, and Bottas all failed to make it home. That's... a lot of smoke and sparks for round one. Here's the thing though: since this is our opening salvo, nobody's got fantasy points locked in yet. Think of this weekend as the calm before the storm. You've all got a clean slate, a chance to reset, and absolutely no excuse for not doing your homework before we lock picks for Bahrain. Start scouting. Start scheming. Start wondering whether you should've picked Russell. (Spoiler: you probably should've.) Five days till the next one. Let's see who's paying attention.
