وأخيييراً رجعنا! الموسم الجديد بدأ في ملبورن، وكان فوضى بمعنى الكلمة—حوادث، مطر، وسباق مستحيل يتنسي! بداية لويس هاملتون مع فيراري؟ خلينا نقول إنها كانت واحدة من أسوأ البدايات في تاريخ الفريق. مكلارين كان عندها أسرع عربية على الحلبة—سريعة لدرجة إن حتى ماكس فيرستابن مقدرش يفوز! لكن للأسف، الأجواء في أستراليا ما كانتش في صالح أوسكار بياستري، والفوز راح لِلاندو نوريس. كل التفاصيل وأكتر في حلقة النهاردة من Circuit Squad!

We’re finally back! The new F1 season kicked off in Melbourne, and it was chaos. Crashes, rain, and absolute mayhem set the stage for an unforgettable Australian Grand Prix. Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari debut? Let’s just say it was historically bad. McLaren had the fastest car by a mile—so fast even Max Verstappen couldn’t win. But it wasn’t the homecoming Oscar Piastri hoped for, as Lando Norris took the victory instead. Buckle up, because we’re breaking it all down on today’s episode of Circuit Squad
