The Formula 1 scene is buzzing with action, and the key events are as riveting as ever. From Fernando Alonso’s collision in the Australian Grand Prix to Lewis Hamilton’s expectations of Ferrari, here’s a comprehensive rundown of the latest happenings in the motor racing world.

Fernando Alonso, the two-time world champion, recently experienced a mishap at the Australian Grand Prix when he collided with a barrier. The Spanish driver didn’t mince words when he pinpointed a ‘mountain of gravel’ as the instigator behind his crash. He was tailgating Pierre Gasly during the incident, with a video clip making rounds on social media that exhibits Alonso deviating just wide enough to stir up gravel before the calamity ensued.

In conversation with DAZN, Alonso expressed his bewilderment over the incident, stating that he didn’t touch the gravel and followed his usual route. Yet, he was greeted by a pile of gravel at the exact location where he placed the tire, leading to a loss of car control. This unfortunate event was a costly fiasco for the team, according to Alonso.

The racing world also watched as Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time World Champion, scored a lone point in his debut race for Ferrari in the Australian Grand Prix. Despite the disappointing start, Hamilton remains optimistic about the potential of the SF-25. He acknowledged a lack of pace but affirmed his belief in the car’s performance which, according to him, wasn’t fully exploited during the weekend race.

On the technical side of things, last year’s underdogs, Williams and Sauber, started this season with a more competitive approach. Williams even snagged a top-five finish thanks to Alex Albon’s performance in Australia.

Meanwhile, the FIA is set to implement a new Technical Directive to prevent wing flexibility. The move comes in reaction to rear wing deformation or flexing spotted in Australia. The directive will be introduced at the Chinese Grand Prix and will impose stricter tests on the upper rear wing. Teams were informed about this revised test on March 17th.

Jessica Hawkins, the driver ambassador for Aston Martin, shared her reflections on her F1 test. Despite Nico Rosberg’s praise for her “rapid” times, Hawkins admitted to being hard on herself. Nevertheless, she left the test feeling proud of her performance, a sentiment rarely expressed by the racing driver.

In conclusion, the world of Formula 1 continues to be a high-octane arena filled with thrilling events, technical advancements, and personal revelations. As we gear up for the Chinese Grand Prix, it’s clear that the championship is already shaping up to be a fascinating spectacle.
