Q3 is back in session. #F1 #AusGP
Oh no, they forgot to remove a cooling tool from Antonelli's car and it ended up on the track now leading to another red flag. That will likely lead to a penalty ... Norris has obliterated the debris as he seems to have hit it with his front left tyre. #AusGP #F1
*he technically stopped at the pit entry
Q3 is delayed as there were issues with Bortoleto's car and he needed assistance to get it off the track. That means he won't be able to participate despite making it to Q3. #F1 #AusGP
Out in Q2
-Nico Hülkenberg
-Ollie Bearman
-Esteban Ocon
-Pierre Gasly
-Alex Albon
-Franco Colapinto
The Ferraris seem to have struggled more with soft tyres. Amazing that Arvid Lindblad made it to Q3 in his first F1 Qualifying!
#AusGP #F1
Out in Q1
-Fernando Alonso
-Sergio Pérez
-Valtteri Bottas
-Max Verstappen
-Carlos Sainz
-Lance Stroll
The Mercedes cars have really shown their potential for now. The Ferraris did the whole session on mediums. Sainz and Stroll both didn't set a time.

Q1 is back in session. #AustralianGP #F1
Kind of a "lucky" break for Antonelli that Q1 is on hold for now ... #AustralianGP #F1
Red flag after Max Verstappen has flown off track and landed in the gravel/wall. Looks like the rear just locked up completely in T1. He is all right but he will have to start from the very back tomorrow since he hasn't set a time yet. #AustralianGP #F1
So, a long day for you? I hope the Qualifying delivers some good entertainment at least.
It's 6AM for me. How about you?
Small change: Q3 is now 13 minutes instead of 12. Will it change much? Likely teams will just wait a minute longer and it will still result in traffic, but we shall see! #AustralianGP #F1
First Qualifying of the season starts in less than 10 minutes! #AustralianGP #F1
Sooo, apparently Aston Martin won't be able to go the full racing distance with their car this weekend. Knowing this ahead of the race ... I can't really imagine a worse start to the season. #AustralianGP #F1
Glad I also seem to continue the tradition of having several spelling errors and/or missing words in my posts 😅
I have taken winter break really seriously and have stayed off the platform for the most part. Sorry I didn't comment on testing at all, but we our first race coming up this weekend and I'll brave the early morning hours to give you all the updates for qualifying and the race! #F1
I literally watched it and then immediately restarted it at soon as I was done.
Thank you, that's so very kind of you to say!!
Lando Norris getting hugged by his parents.
I, too, would go and hug my parents first thing! #WDC2025 #F1
Max Verstappen's final radio message was really sweet. I'm glad he's not disappointed and that the team is proud of what they achieved. #F1 #AbuDhabiGP

Congrats to Lando Norris for being the 2025 FIA Formula 1 World Champion!
(I think he's more than allowed to cry now) #F1
The race ends with Max Verstappen on P1, Oscar Piastri on P2 and Lando Norris on P3 - making the Brit the official World Driver Champion of 2025! #F1 #AbuDhabiGP
Final lap! #F1 #AbuDhabiGP
Less than 10 laps to go! #F1 #AbuDhabiGP
Pierre Gasly has received a 5-second penalty for track limits. #F1 #AbuDhabiGP
The chase for Verstappen is on for Oscar Piastri. #F1 #AbuDhabiGP
Now Oscar Piastri has also gone in for his pit stop and has taken medium tyres. He rejoins on P2 ahead of Norris. #F1 #AbuDhabiGP
Max Verstappen has overtaken Oscar Piastri, who didn't put up much of a fight. #F1 #AbuDhabiGP
Lando Norris' stop was all right. He rejoined on P3 with another hard tyre. #F1 #AbuDhabiGP
