Drivers and constructors scored 216 Track Points at the this race. That's 50 points more than any other race this season. Cor blimey.
On just the third corner of the race, Charles Leclerc made a stunning bid for Track Points when he crashed out of the Australian grand prix. It was the first of eight retirements, resulting in a huge haul of Track Points in one of the most entertaining races of recent times. Albon pirouetted into a barrier. Russell went on fire. Magnussen made a delightful smear on a wall.
Then in the final restart sprint of the race, carnage ensued. The Alpine cars took each other out to ensure their place at the top of the constructor Track Points. And Sargeant rammed the backside of De Vries, sending both of their cars into the gravel. "Everything has gone wrong," rued Leclerc afterwards. The spirit of the Losers League was strong in Albert Park.
Read on for all the Track Points in Australia.
