Kimi Antonelli's performance in Australia was incredibly impressive for a rookie on their debut, but how does it rank among the best debuts of the 21st century?
Here are the top 5 rookie debuts since 2000.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Australian Grand Prix yesterday. Jeopardy for everyone throughout!
This exchange between Leclerc and his race engineer had me howling with laughter!

Kiwi Report -
As a former Kiwi myself, one old enough to have had a wall chart following Mike Thackwell on my classroom wall, I have to spare a thought for Liam Lawson as well.
It was clear from testing that there's a lot of pace in Red Bull's car, but that it also has a very narrow operating window and is a real handful outside of that window. Max will always find a way to wring its neck, but for mere mortals it is not so easy and Liam hasn't looked on top of the car all weekend. Like Bearman, he needs to take it on the chin and keep working with the engineers to understand the car and tailor his driving style towards its strengths.
Rookie report pt 2:
Antonelli - Going from FREC to F1 in two years was always going to be a massive ask of the teenager, so a messy weekend was hardly unexpected. He seemed on top of the car by P3, but I would've liked to have seen a glimpse or two of the incredible pace I've heard whispers of.
Bearman - Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. His big crash in P1 was unfortunate and losinng P2 was always going to seriously harm the rest of his weekend. He should have been conservative in P3 and concentrated on getting laps in. Binning it on lap two was the worst thing he could've done. In comparison, the gearbox failure is small fry as he would have been last by some distance in any case. He now faces the prospect of starting a Grand Prix at a track he's only managed 14 laps of. He just needs to play it safe, stay out of trouble and treat it as an extended familiarisation exercise, now.
