Discover the starting grid for the 2019 Australian Grand Prix
For the sixth consecutive time, Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) will start from pole position in Melbourne. It is even a 100% silver first line with Valtteri Bottas in second place.
The Ferrari will have their work cut out for them Sebastian Vettel in third place and Charles Leclerc fifth. However, it is useful to remember that the German won the 2018 GP from… third place on the grid !
Max Verstappen (Red Bull) should play spoilsport thanks to his fourth time. Romain Grosjean et Kevin Magnussen (Haas) can have high hopes by starting sixth and seventh respectively. All that remains is to hope for better work from the mechanics: during the 2018 editions, the two Haas had retired due to a poorly tightened wheel in the pits.
