it was an undeniably strong comeback for Ferrari after an underwhelming performance in Melbourne, Leclerc heading Vettel by 0.263s but, crucially, nearly a second up on third-placed Valtteri Bottas, the Australian Grand Prix winner leading the charge for Mercedes, with team mate Lewis Hamilton in fourth.
Behind the two Ferraris and the two Mercedes, the Red Bulls also found themselves line astern in P5 and P6, Max Verstappen shading Pierre Gasly, and 1.319s down on the pace of Leclerc.
