First race of the Formula 1 season, the Grand Prix of Australia was won by Sebastian Vettel from Ferrari who faultlessly calculated his strategy against the the champion Mercedes pilot Lewis Hamilton. Australian Daniel Ricciardo Red Bull to the last lap literally sat on a tail of the second Ferrari pilot Kimi Räikkönen, but this wasn't enough to overtake him.

After the race he shared with SBS the bizarre circumstances of this mishap
