Ferrari's Carlos Sainz won the Australian Grand Prix after Max Verstappen retired after five laps with his rear brakes catching fire.
Sainz overtook teammate Charles Leclerc into second, with McLaren's Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri finishing third and fourth respectively.
The Ferrari driver, who underwent appendicitis surgery just two weeks ago, took the checkered flag 2.3 seconds ahead of team-mate Leclerc.
Starting from second on the grid, he led Verstappen on the second lap before the latter retired due to damage.
Sainz was flawless for the next 56 laps, his victory never looking in jeopardy for a moment. /BGNES
