There has never been an Australian on the podium in Australia, and yet it happened twice
Many drivers have been able to win their home race, or at the very least stand on the podium in front of their home crowd. Lewis Hamilton at Silverstone, Fernando Alonso in Spain, Max Verstappen in the Netherlands. France, Italy, Japan, Brazil, Germany, Canada and even the US have all been able to watch their hometown heroes stand on the podium. But that pleasure has never been granted to the Aussies.
