After the first two weekends of the year dominated by Red Bull and Max Verstappen, the Australian Grand Prix offered a different scenario which was clear from Friday. Red Bull seemed to be more in trouble than usual, while Ferrari’s SF-24 was extremely quick from FP1, giving fans hope to see a different race on Sunday than a usual Verstappen domination. Sainz’s pace was very fast, and without Verstappen's retirement, he would have certainly fought for the victory. This is why Sainz's win wasn't a one-off lucky shot, and Verstappen must be concerned.
