We asked for chaos and the 2024 Australian Grand Prix delivered!

16 days after getting his appendix removed in Saudi Arabia, Carlos Sainz came storming back to win the third race of his career and put him right back on the radar of every team who’s going to need a new driver in 2025 (and maybe a few who didn’t).
