F1 2018: Top 5 drivers in the Australian Grand Prix

#1 Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes)

Hamilton looked like he was going to win the race

Hamilton was simply the best driver in the Grand Prix but, was just unlucky. The British driver had the fastest car and was looking like he was going to win the race easily because the gap between him, Raikkonen and, Vettel was too much.

Hamilton lost his lead to Vettel when the safety car was brought on. Vettel's car was fast enough to not let Hamilton get past him.

In the final few laps, Hamilton's tyres started heating up, due to which, he had to slow down a little bit. Vettel's lead became greater and finished comfortably in the end.

Raikkonen then came close to Hamilton and, in the end, it looked like Hamilton wasn't even going to finish second. But, somehow he scrapped through the race and finished second, behind Vettel.

It is safe to say that the safety car incident changed the course of the race and also, the fates of many drivers.
