Lando Norris converted pole position into victory at the season-opening Australian Grand Prix, in what were mixed conditions.
The race started in wet conditions before a dry-line later appeared, before a sudden heavy rain shower in the closing stages caused chaos.
Norris survived the chaos to win, ahead of reigning world champion Max Verstappen and Mercedes' George Russell.
Williams' Alex Albon claimed a stunning fourth, ahead of rookie Kimi Antonelli. Home hero Oscar Piastri finished ninth after spinning in the rain, whilst six drivers crashed out.
Isack Hadjar crashed on the formation lap, whilst Jack Doohan and Carlos Sainz crashed on the first lap. Fernando Alonso, Gabriel Bortoleto and Liam Lawson also found the barriers at Albert Park.
NOTE: The results were amended post-race after Mercedes successfully overturned a five-second time penalty for Kimi Antonelli in a right of review protest for an unsafe release.
The Italian climbs back to fourth in the final result, with Alex Albon demoted to fifth for Williams - still his best result since fourth at the 2020 Abu Dhabi GP.
