F1 Results Today: Hamilton stunned as scary crash brings out red flag in Australia

Lewis Hamilton was massively outpaced in FP1 for the Australian Grand Prix on Friday, being beaten by both his new team-mate Charles Leclerc and the driver he replaced at Ferrari, Carlos Sainz.

It was a big crash for one of the younger drivers on the grid that was the news of the session though, Ollie Bearman demolishing his Haas with the assistance of the Albert Park barriers.

The session was red flagged after just 20 minutes after some drivers ran wide and kicked up a troubling amount of gravel onto the racing surface, with the delay lasting about five minutes.

While teams will be a little wary of reading too much into a Friday practice session, pace in this session may be more representative than pre-season testing in Bahrain – or at least will give rivals another data point to measure.
