The 2024 Formula 1 Rolex Australian Grand Prix is just around the corner and for the first time in over 10 years we will have two Australians on the grid at Albert Park.

For the first time since 2013, Australian F1 supporters will have two Aussies to cheer on with Oscar Piastri back for his hometown race driving for McLaren while we will be seeing Daniel Ricciardo once again following his return midway through 2023.

Ricciardo will be driving for the recently rebranded Visa Cash App RB this time around after being forced to watch last year's race from the sidelines.

How have they fared so far this season?

Well, it is fair to say that our two Aussies have had contrasting starts to their respective campaigns.

Ricciardo has come in 13th and 16th in his first two races while Piastri finished eighth in Bahrain before just missing out on the podium in Jeddah where he finished fourth.

In terms of the driver standings, Piastri is rubbing shoulders with the elite, sitting in fifth with 16 points to his name - three places and four points better of than his teammate Lando Norris.

Meanwhile, Ricciardo is languishing at the bottom of the standings and is one of nine drivers yet to get on the scoreboard this year.

As stated earlier, Ricciardo did not feature at the 2023 Australian Grand Prix however Melbourne born Piastri got to experience his hometown race for the first time.

The McLaren driver will be looking to finish up in the points this time around after securing 16th in his Albert Park debut.
