Jack Sutton: Great result for Charles Leclerc. A worthy winner! Glad Russell got the final podium position too. Happy with the top three.
Ashic: So, Lewis Hamilton has lost at least one position in three of the last four races due to the safety car. Of course, one of them leading to far more severe consequences (where he was robbed)...

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner speaking to Sky Sports about Max Verstappen's DNF: "We don't know what the issue is yet. I don't think it is engine related. I think it might be a fuel issue but we need to get the car back and look at exactly what has happened.
"Desperately frustrating. We didn't have the pace to race Charles today. They were in a league of their own but frustrating not to bag those points."

Image source, Getty ImagesJust waking up on this Sunday morning? Here's what happened at the Australian Grand Prix, courtesy of Andrew Benson. Stay with us for all of the reaction.
Charles Leclerc took a dominant victory in the Australian Grand Prix to move into a commanding position in the World Championship.
The Ferrari driver was in total control of the race when his main rival Max Verstappen retired with a technical failure on his Red Bull at two-thirds distance.
Verstappen is 46 points - almost two clear wins - behind Leclerc after just three races of the season, in two of which the Red Bull has failed to finish.
Red Bull's Sergio Perez was second after winning battles with Mercedes drivers George Russell and Lewis Hamilton.
Remarkably, in the context of Mercedes' disappointing start to the season, Russell is second in the drivers' championship at this early stage and Mercedes second in the constructors' chase.

On the restarts: "It was very difficult, especially the safety car restart, I had a huge understeer into the last corner. I thought it was going to be difficult to keep the first position but then we managed to do so and after the first two or three corners I managed to regain the grip and then the pace was back. Incredible to win here."
On his title chances: "We are only in the third race so it is difficult to think about the championship, but we have a very strong car, a very reliable car too, so I hope it continues like this and, if it does, we will have chances for the championship.
"That makes me smile after the last two years, which have been difficult for the team and myself so it is great to be back in this position."
Meanwhile, a frustrated Max Verstappen has called his failure to finish "unacceptable".
He had to retire with a technical failure two thirds of the way through.
Full quotes to come.

"Especially in the race pace, we were extremely strong. Tyres felt great - from the first lap to the last lap we were managing the tyres extremely well. I am just so happy."
It's 15 years since a Ferrari driver won the world title. Is this the year?
Image source, Getty ImagesNow the Ferrari mechanics are loving every beat of the Italian national anthem.
The team to beat.
Charles Leclerc now stands proudly atop of the podium as the anthem plays...
Sergio Perez, who finished second: "That race was a bit tricky. We were a bit unlucky losing positions with the safety cars which we recovered later. It would've been great to have a double podium but we lost Max."
Mercedes' George Russell on finishing third: "We have got to be in it to win it and capitalise on others' misfortune. Obviously we got lucky today twice, but you have got to take it.
"There is so much hard work going on back at base to try to get us back to the front, so to stand on the podium is special.
"We are never to give up. We have got to keep fighting. This weekend we were a long way behind our rivals but here we are standing on the podium.
"We have got to keep this up while we are on the back foot and I am sure we will get there after a few more races.
"It will take some time until we can fight these boys in red and blue. They look pretty exceptional at the moment but if anyone can Mercedes can, so let's go for it."
"You were on another level today," Mark Webber says to Charles Leclerc at the start of his post-race interview.
Quite.

Glen Arthur Ezekiel Meskell-Brocken: With Alex Albon finishing 10th is that the first time four drivers born in UK. have finished in the Top 10?
Aditya Thakkar: Full marks to Leclerc (no pun intended). Absolutely flawless driving end to end today.
Willem Mevius: Yeah great steady race from Leclerc, but driver of the day has to be Albon surely, with his point in the Williams?
Race-winner Charles Leclerc leaps into the arms of the Ferrari mechanic.
Stay with us to hear from the top three...
Out: Verstappen, Vettel, Sainz.
A real mixed day for Red Bull. Sergio Perez finishes second and is congratulated by Christian Horner over the radio but once again world champion Max Verstappen does not take a point.
He had to pull over around halfway with fire coming from his car.
Image source, Getty ImagesObviously I got a bit fortunate back there but that's part of the game. Well done guys, brilliant. Let's chase some more podiums now.
