F1 2018: 5 things we learned from the Australian GP

#3 Hamilton did everything right, but couldn't win

Hamilton did have the fastest car but, couldn't win

Hamilton looked in great form ahead of the main race day. He claimed his 7th pole position in the Australian Grand Prix and had the fastest car in the practice sessions, and in the qualifying rounds as well.

Even in the main race, Hamilton stayed on top for a long time and looked like the fastest driver in the race.

However, after the safety car was brought following Grosjean's retirement, Vettel made a pit-stop and came ahead of Hamilton. The four-time English Champion could not overtake under the safety car rules.

Hamilton tried to go ahead of Vettel but, Vettel wasn't going to give up his lead so easily. In the final few laps, Hamilton's tyres started heating up and wearing down. He had to slow down which put Vettel comfortably on top. Hamiton managed to somehow finish 2nd, just ahead of Raikkonen in 3rd.
