It was held between 24 March and 26 March 2017. Nico Rosberg was the defending winner, though he did not compete due to his retirement. Lewis Hamilton took pole position, beating Sebastian Vettel's pole position time from 2011, and matching Ayrton Senna's six poles at the Australian Grand Prix. Vettel joined him on the front row. Hamilton kept the lead going into the corner, but after he got stuck behind Max Verstappen following his pit stop, Vettel took the effective lead and carried on to take his forty-third career victory, also his and Ferrari's first win since the 2015 Singapore Grand Prix. Hamilton came home in second, and his teammate Valtteri Bottas completed the podium in his first race for Mercedes."@en . . "1"^^ . . . . "58"^^ . . "GER"@en . "Lewis Hamilton"@en . . "GBR"@en . .
