    Kiwi driver Liam Lawson's recorded the 16th-fastest time in the opening practice session of Formula One's season-opening Australian Grand Prix

    Kiwi driver Liam Lawson's recorded the 16th-fastest time in the opening practice session of Formula One's season-opening Australian Grand Prix


    Lawson's efforts were hampered by two separate red flags, which caused delays to the drivers' time on track ... he also brushed the wall.

    Teammate and reigning champion Max Verstappen was fifth-fastest ... McLaren's Lando Norris topped the timesheets with a fastest lap of 1 minute 17.252 seconds.
