Verstappen, Hamilton, Alonso - F1’s greatest podium?
Max Verstappen stormed to his first-ever victory in Melbourne ahead of Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso.
That means there were a combined 11 F1 world titles on the podium for the Australian GP.
The trio also shared the podium at the 2021 Qatar Grand Prix, but at the time, Verstappen hadn’t even won his first title.
The 2020 Turkish Grand Prix did see Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel share the podium together.
Hamilton had mathematically secured his seventh title, while Vettel was a four-time world champion.
