Lewis Hamilton's move from Mercedes to Ferrari is just one of numerous intriguing subplots in a season that gets underway in Australia this Sunday.

Carlos Sainz drove the entire day, topping Day 2 overall, while Lewis Hamilton put in the fastest time of the first session with his Ferrari.

Williams drivers Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon criticised the move by motorsport governing body FIA to codify a rule that could hand drivers fines or suspensions for criticising officials.

Carlos Sainz, the driver ditched by Ferrari to make way for Lewis Hamilton, believes his old team could now be even better placed to return to the summit of Formula One with the former world champion on board.

Both Messi and Colapinto hail from Argentina.
