Great Britain:

“the sun”: “The Wizard of Oz. Charles Leclerc wins Australian Grand Prix”.

Corriere della Sera: “Total Ferrari dominance in Melbourne, Monaco increasingly leading the world championship.”

Spain:

Marca: “Leclerc cannot be stopped (…)”

“Like”: “It doesn’t get any worse, except for Leclerc (…) a landslide victory for Ferrari.”

France:

“L’Equipe”: “Leclerc and Ferrari, that’s solid.”

“Le Figaro”: “The untouchable Leclerc wins in Australia, Verstappen loses in a big way.”

Switzerland:

“Opinion”: Verstappen out again – Leclerc extends world championship lead!

Austria:

Kronen Zeitung: Charles Leclerc celebrated his second victory of the season in this year’s Formula 1 World Championship. After the opening win in Bahrain, the Ferrari driver also won the third round of the world championship in Australia on Sunday. At Melbourne’s Albert Park, Monegasse celebrated a solid victory from the lights to the flag including the fastest lap, but also benefited from Max Verstappen’s retirement at Red Bull.”
