Vettel snatches victory, 'Ice Man' Kimi strikes again - Top 5 Australian GP moments

Australia - The Australian Grand Prix started with Lewis Hamilton on pole after dominating the practice sessions and grabbing a record-breaking pole position in Melbourne. Unfortunately for the Mercedes ace, Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel would ultimately win the first race of the 2018 season.

With no incidents during the first lap, Hamilton led the race and looked certain to win. Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel were on his heels and during strategic 'box' sessions, the boys in red proved to have the better strategy.

After Hamilton boxed for the first time, Vettel took the lead and managed to keep maintain his position to earn Ferrari a fantastic victory.

That said, here are the best moments from the 2018 Australian GP:

4. Haas pit failures despite promising start

A day of heart-break with a double retirement for @kevinmagnussen and @grosjeanromain at the @ausgp. Running P4 and P5 at the time, the pace of the @haas_automation #VF18 is the positive we take from the weekend. #HaasF1 #AusGP #F1
