Lewis Hamilton's debut with his new Ferrari team was put through a severe test in Australia as he settled for a humbling 10th place finish. Plagued by strategy mishaps and persistent team radio debates, the seven-time world champion voiced his dissatisfaction after missing out on a higher spot.

Hamilton had initially climbed to the lead by lap 46, thanks to swift tire changes by his competitors. However, a late pit stop and traffic caused him to slip back to ninth. To make matters worse, he dropped to 10th after Oscar Piastri overtook him on the final lap, exacerbating his frustration.
