Norris saw off Piastri’s challenge by just 0.084 seconds as McLaren secured an impressive F1 front-row lockout in Melbourne. World champion Max Verstappen finished a distant third with Mercedes’ George Russell fourth. RB’s Yuki Tsunoda took a surprise fifth, one place ahead of Williams’ Alex Albon.
