Formula One returned to Australia for the first time since 2019, and it was more than worth the wait at a new-look Albert Park Circuit.

It was a challenging weekend for both Lance Stroll and Sebastian Vettel, but the team displayed its incredible spirit and never-give-up attitude to fight for points during Sunday's race, with Lance taking 12th at the finish.

From passionate fans showing their support for the team through to Lance's impressive defensive driving, explore our weekend with our top shots from Melbourne.
