It was the first Grand Prix of the season and every team tip-toed into the first race not knowing how drivers were going to perform.
Two teams chose Australia as their bonus circuit, therefore doubling the points they received and so we have our first championship table of the season.
In terms of drivers, the Top performing drivers so far are:
Vettel (49pts)
Hamilton (48pts)
Raikkonen (39pts)
Bottas (33pts)
Perez (32pts)
Massa (27pts)
Verstappen (26pts)
Ocon (24pts)
Vandoorne (24pts)
The bottom five worst performing drivers:
Ricciardo (-39pts)
Stroll (-38pts)
Palmer (-17pts)
Magnussen (-15pts)
Ericsson (-13pts)
