Sebastian Vettel has underlined Ferrari's championship credentials after beating Lewis Hamilton to win the season-opening Australian Grand Prix.

Pole-sitter Hamilton led the opening phase of the Albert Park race, but lost out to Vettel in the only round of pit stops and finished 10 seconds behind the four-time world champion.

It marked Vettel's first victory since the 2015 Singapore Grand Prix with Valtteri Bottas, the Finnish driver who has replaced world champion Nico Rosberg at Mercedes, completing the podium.
