Hamilton’s 2023 campaign gets off to a decent start
After the early struggles in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, Hamilton and Mercedes seemingly rediscovered their form in Australia two weeks ago. The Briton qualified third in Melbourne and then went on to claim a fantastic second-place finish in the main race.
He finished ahead of third-placed Fernando Alonso and just behind race-winner Max Verstappen. His fantastic result in Australia came after finishing fifth in both Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. Hamilton’s podium finish also moved him up to fourth in the championship with 38 points.
He is now just seven points behind third-placed Alonso (45) and 16 points behind second-placed Sergio Perez (54). Meanwhile, Verstappen leads the championship race with 69 points. Hamilton will now just hope that he and Mercedes can carry forward this rediscovered form to the next race in Baku.
