Trouble for Red Bull after qualifying for the Australian Grand Prix: Sergio Perez was handed a three-place grid penalty by the race stewards for holding up Nico Hülkenberg in Q1.

This means that the Red Bull driver has to start the race in Melbourne from sixth place.

Lando Norris (McLaren), Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) and Oscar Piastri (McLaren) will benefit from this.

Pole for Verstappen 
Max Verstappen starts from pole. It is the Dutchman's third in as many races this season in the Red Bull. Verstappen was 0.270 seconds faster than Ferrari challenger Carlos Sainz on Saturday.
