Red Bull’s Max Verstappen claimed his first Australian Grand Prix in a chaotic Formula 1 race filled with drama from the green light to the chequered flag.

Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton finished second, while Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso took third spot on the podium.

Verstappen had appeared to be coasting to victory with an eight-second lead when debris from Kevin Magnussen’s Haas forced the second of three red flags issued in the race with three laps remaining.

On the restart, Verstappen was able to hold Hamilton to the first turn as bedlam unfolded behind him, sparking a massive reshuffle of the finishing order in the 58-lap race.
